Make VS2008: Properties not updated
 

If you ever have the problem that properties of the .NET assembly DLL are not updated although you have set them in the Make VS2008 step, make sure that your .NET project has an AssemblyInfo.cs file.

It does not work if the project does not have such a file. This circumstance is not described in online help.

The help does state "Used to set the assembly properties in each project's AssemblyInfo file (for managed projects)..."

Maybe it should be more explicit about the AssemblyInfo file needing to be named AssemblyInfo.cs/vb/cpp/etc.?

I assumed it would create the file if it does not exist or fail because it cannot perform the desired actions.
