Version Changer 2022

Version Changer is a Visual Studio extension that makes it simple to change the version numbers of all the projects in a solution.

Version Changer will detect what type of project it is and update it accordingly, using AssemeblyInfo in old csproj projects for example but <version> in new style csproj projects.

It can also update Xamarin.Android, Xamarin.iOS projects. 

Version changer can update the following values:

• Version (AssemblyVersion)
• File Version (AsemblyFileVersion)
• InformationalVersion (AssemblyInformationalVersion)
• PackageVersion
• Click once version
• Android manifiest versions
• iOS and Mac info.plist versions
• package.appxmanifest versions
• ApplicationDisplayVersion (MAUI)
• ApplicationVersion (MAUI)
• VersionPrefix
• More comming soon...

It will work with at least the following project types

• Full .Net projects (C# and VB.Net) Class library, Web, WPF, UWP etc
• .Net Core and .NET 5.x+
• .Net standard
• PCL

Version control is available from the tools menu - Tools > Version Changer

Please note that this project is now Open Source and you can contribute at -> https://github.com/newky2k/VersionChangerAddin

Visual Studio 2019 version of the extension can be found here

It will remain open-source and free and the only visible change is a small Copidal button in the corner.
