Included Tasks

Patch Assembly Info Task

Patch Assembly Info Task

This task was created to recursively search the source directory and identify all assemblyinfo.cs files included as part of source tree and to update the Version Number as provided by the build environment.

This task only requires that the project contain a default declaration for AssemblyVersion included in the solution, the specifically set version does not matter.

This task should be used before compilation to ensure that .NET Core will include your version number in the compiled assemblies.
