Automatically updating assembly version

[jsiegmund]

Hello,

I was wondering if it could be made possible that the client updates the assembly version upon check-in. We're now using the star so VS generates a new version number itself, but that sometimes has some downsides. The best situation would be that the assembly version number is raised as soon as a developer checks in code into source control (since that's the moment changes are really committed).

Is this possible at the moment or could it be made possible.

Unfortunately, Vault doesn't have the ability to track versions or build numbers of an application. If you are using a build system like NAnt or CruiseControl.NET, those should be able to perform what you need.

In the meantime, if you need to track assembly versions in Vault so that you can retrieve the project by that information, you might consider placing labels on the project parent folder after check in.
