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?

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?

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