AssemblyIncrementer

AssemblyIncrementer increments Assembly Version and/or File Version in C#/.Net projects. Alternatively, AssemblyIncrementer can set the version of assembly and file as provided by command line parameters.

This utility is aimed at automated builds where you want your assembly or file versions to be incremented by 1 or set to a specific value to avoid installation clashes.

The app uses command line parameters and supports both older style of AssemblyInfo.cs file as well as the SDK-style (.NET Core, NET 5+).csproject files.

Command Line Parameters

• --help|-?|-h Basic command line help

• --file <file to process> File to process, e.g. --file MyProject\AssemblyInfo.cs or --file MyProject\myproject.csproj

• --backup If specified, a copy of the file specified with --file will be retained with extension .bak, e.g. AssemblyInfo.cs.bak

• --assemblyV <version> If specified, sets the AssemblyVersion to the set value, e.g. --assemblyV 1.0.0.0

• --fileV <version> If specified, sets the AssemblyVersion to the set value, e.g. --fileV 1.0.0.0
