Re-hosting, how-to change version number of generated assembly

Question

Hi everyone!

I know this question is somewhat off-topic for this forum but atleast it is related:)

I've got the re-hosting of the workflow designer to work but when I compile the workflow I would like to change the versio number of the generated assembly (default seems to be 0.0.0.0). 

Is there any good way of doing this?

Best regards!

Hi,Marcus

If you are using Visual Studio, there is a AssemblyInfo.cs file in your project, open this file, and you can change the version info here. then rebuild the project.

Hi! Sorry for the later answer to your suggestion. I use the Rehost designer to compile the workflow. It generates a .dll files based on the current workflow and has nothing to do with a VS project etc. Is it possible to generate the assembly info file with the .dll in anyway? What is best practise regarding this? I'm using the WorkflowCompiler class to compile codebeside file.

Managed to solve it. By adding a CodeAttributeDeclaration in the CodeCompileUnit.AssemblyCustomAttributes collection I managed to get the [assembly:] attribute to be generated along with the code.

Here is the code I used:

public static CodeCompileUnit UpdateAssemblyInformation(CodeCompileUnit unit, String description, String version)
{
    CodeAttributeArgument[] versionArguments = new CodeAttributeArgument[1];
    versionArguments[0] = new CodeAttributeArgument(
        new CodePrimitiveExpression(version));

    CodeAttributeDeclaration assemblyVersion = new CodeAttributeDeclaration(
        new CodeTypeReference(ASSEMBLY_VERSION), versionArguments);

    CodeAttributeDeclaration assemblyFileVersion = new CodeAttributeDeclaration(
       new CodeTypeReference(ASSEMBLY_FILEVERSION), versionArguments);

    unit.AssemblyCustomAttributes.Add(assemblyVersion);
    unit.AssemblyCustomAttributes.Add(assemblyFileVersion);

    CodeAttributeArgument[] descriptionArguments = new CodeAttributeArgument[1];
    descriptionArguments[0] = new CodeAttributeArgument(
        new CodePrimitiveExpression(description));//Create parameter for attribute 

    CodeAttributeDeclaration assemblyDescription = new CodeAttributeDeclaration(
        new CodeTypeReference(ASSEMBLY_DESCRIPTION), descriptionArguments);

    unit.AssemblyCustomAttributes.Add(assemblyDescription);
    return unit;
}
