problem Provide team build number and flavor (debug, release) for compiled assemblies from multiple projects in a solution
solution Edit your .csproj files (make sure you do a "Checkout for edit") and add
... <Import Project="..\\AssemblyInfo.proj" /> </Project>
The AssemblyInfo.proj should be placed next to the .sln file:
<Project xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
<Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\MSBuildCommunityTasks\MSBuild.Community.Tasks.Targets"/>
<Target Name="BeforeBuild">
<Attrib Files="Properties\AssemblyInfo.cs" Normal="true"/>
<!-- Build := Days since StartDate; Revision := 65534 / (24*60*60) * seconds since midnight 
-->
<Version BuildType="Automatic" RevisionType="Automatic" StartDate="2007/01/01" Major="1" Minor="0">
<Output TaskParameter="Major" PropertyName="Major" />
<Output TaskParameter="Minor" PropertyName="Minor" />
<Output TaskParameter="Build" PropertyName="Build" />
<Output TaskParameter="Revision" PropertyName="Revision" />
</Version>
<AssemblyInfo CodeLanguage="CS"
OutputFile="Properties\AssemblyInfo.cs"
AssemblyConfiguration="$(Configuration)"
AssemblyCompany="Company Name"
AssemblyProduct="$(AssemblyName) $(Configuration) $(BuildNumber)"
AssemblyCopyright="Copyright Company Name 2007"
AssemblyVersion="$(Major).$(Minor).$(Build).$(Revision)"

<Attrib Files="Properties\AssemblyInfo.cs" ReadOnly="true"/>
</Target>
</Project>
You need to install msbuildtasks on your local machine AND the build server. Apart from the Team Build revision, you'll get another auto-generated assembly revision.
debugging Unload, Reload the project after every change to AssemblyInfo.proj
