Putting TeamCity build number into the assemblies it build

Question

I am new to TeamCity and I have just installed it and set it up with subversion. I would like the TeamCity build number to be put in the output files, so that my Application.exe has the same build number.

How can I do this?

Answer 1

There is now an assemblyinfo patcher built into teamcity. They call it a build feature: http://confluence.jetbrains.net/display/TCD65/AssemblyInfo+Patcher

Use that with the parameters mention or make your own e.g.: 1.2.%build.vcs.number%.1

Answer 2

try this:

• Team City - Update AssemblyInfo with current build number

This is using Team City with MSBuild. If you're using Nant try this:

• Getting the TeamCity build number into the AssemblyInfo file using Nant

Answer 3

I run a powershell script after getting the sources from svn and before the build starts.

More or less like so.
