VS.NET action version fails with multiple AssemblyInfo files
 

We have an architecture with the [assembly] directives placed in two different files, one which is common across our entire product line, and one which is specific to a particular project.

When using the VS.NET action, and setting version to a specific value, the action updates both of these files to contain the
AssemblyFileVersionAttribute, AssemblyInformationalVersionAttribute, and AssemblyVersionAttribute attributes. This results in the build failing.

Any suggestions?

The Make VS.NET action will only update assembly attributes in the AssemblyInfo.* file of the project, adding the specified attributes if missing or updating if found. If you keep some of the attributes in a different file in the project, do not set those attributes on the Versions/Properties tab of the Make VS.NET action, as it will only update/create them in the AssemblyInfo.* file. You will need to update the attributes in the other file some other way, since the Make VS.NET action will not change them there (one way would be to use a Replace in File action).
