How to increment C++ project PRODUCTVERSION and FILEVERSION from .rc file using DTE assembly.

Question

Hi,

I am working on build automation using DTE assembly. I have solution file which contains C# and C++ projects. I can change the AssemblyVersion by using DTE but I am not able to do same with C++ project. Please suggest me how to set the C++ .rc file using DTE assembly.

Regards,

Sanjay

Hi Sanjay,

Project-specific objects such as DTE.VBProjects.Item and DTE.VCProjects.Item are located in other assemblies. Visual Basic and Visual C# project objects are located in VSLangProj, and Visual C++ project objects are located in Microsoft.VisualStudio.VCProjectEngine. See Extending Visual Basic and Visual C# Projects and Visual C++ Project Model for more information about programming against project-specific objects.

More information you can refer to:

So I think if you want to change the AssemblyVersion in C++ project, you should use the VCProjectEngine.
