Using the File Content Replacer build feature suggested by Paul, we eventually ended up with the following versioning scheme in our project:

A little bit complicated to setup but we're happy with the results.

Answer 2

Regarding the question from Emil G about keeping the first numbers of the version from AssemblyInfo, it's currently not possible: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/TW-20475

Would be nice, though.

It's now possible to be done through the File Content Replacer (available since TeamCity 9.1): https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/TCD9/File+Content+Replacer

TeamCity can version assemblies for you with the AssemblyInfo Patcher build feature. To take advantage of this:

1. Create a build parameter called %Major.Minor%. Set this manually to some value, e.g. 1.0.
2. On the General Settings tab, set the Build number format to %Major.Minor%.%build.vcs.number%.%build.counter%.
3. On the Build Steps tabe, scroll to the Additional Build Features at the bottom of the page. Add an Assembly Info Patcher build step. It will default to using the %system.build.number%, which you've defined in step 2.

This will result in all of your assemblies being versioned with the %system.build.number%, which includes the Major and Minor version, the VCS revision, and TeamCity's incremental build number.
