Using Jenkins Version Environment Variable in the MSBuild step

Question

I\'m currently using the Jenkins \"Version Number Plug-In\" to set an Environment Variable for build version. This works fine within jenkins but i need a way to pass this to MSB

Answer 1

The easiest way I´ve found to do this is using the Change Assembly Version. Using that plugin you only need to provide the version number (or the environment variable used) and it will replace it in all the AssemblyInfo.cs files in your workspace.
