Hi,

We are using a Azure DevOps build pipeline to build the control and generate the solution file. The ControlManifest.Input.xml has a version attribute for the control. Is there a way to auto update this?

I would like to do the following:

And have $(BuildID) to re placed with the current buildid.

Any thoughts on this?

We made it work with XML Poke. Didn't see an easy way to do it with the file transform.

Hi Pieter,

One way to do this is via an msbuild target in your .cdfproj file with an XmlPoke msbuild task: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/msbuild/xmlpoke-task?view=vs-2019 and pass in $(BuildId) when you build the solution as part of the pipeline

There’s also a builtin VSTS task “File Transform” https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/tasks/utility/file-transform?view=azure-devops

Happy to setup a call to talk/walk through this with you if you'd like?
