How do I change "Specific Version" default value when adding a reference?
When I add a reference to my project, I usually want to use Specific Version = FALSE. This is because our automated build will set the version number. I see the default behavior is 开发者_运维知识库to be TRUE.
Is there a way to change this? Counting on manually changing that value is error prone (and I end up breaking the build).
Create AddIn Project, and try it:
Imports Extensibility
Imports EnvDTE
Imports EnvDTE80
Imports VSLangProj
Imports VSLangProj80
Public Class Connect
Implements IDTExtensibility2
Private _app As DTE2
Private WithEvents _RefEvents As ReferencesEvents
'''<summary>Implements the constructor for the Add-in object. Place your initialization code within this method.</summary>
Public Sub New()
End Sub
'''<summary>Implements the OnConnection method of the IDTExtensibility2 interface. Receives notification that the Add-in is being loaded.</summary>
'''<param name='application'>Root object of the host application.</param>
'''<param name='connectMode'>Describes how the Add-in is being loaded.</param>
'''<param name='addInInst'>Object representing this Add-in.</param>
'''<remarks></remarks>
Public Sub OnConnection(ByVal application As Object, ByVal connectMode As ext_ConnectMode, ByVal addInInst As Object, ByRef custom As Array) Implements IDTExtensibility2.OnConnection
_app = CType(application, DTE2)
_RefEvents = CType(_app.Events.GetObject("VBReferencesEvents"), ReferencesEvents)
End Sub
'''<summary>Implements the OnDisconnection method of the IDTExtensibility2 interface. Receives notification that the Add-in is being unloaded.</summary>

End Sub
'''<summary>Implements the OnBeginShutdown method of the IDTExtensibility2 interface. Receives notification that the host application is being unloaded.</summary>

End Sub
Private Sub _RefEvents_ReferenceAdded(ByVal pReference As Reference) Handles _RefEvents.ReferenceAdded
If pReference.Version <> "0.0.0.0" Then
CType(pReference, Reference3).SpecificVersion = True
End If
End Sub
End Class
There's not a way to change the default. If you're using TFS you could probably apply a check-in rule, but I am unsure if a check-in rule can be applied to a .csproj or .sln file.
I would say you should not change the assembly version with each build. You should use the file version for that purpose.
Suzanne Cooke has a nice blog post explaining it in detail, but that summary is that the file version of an assembly need not be the same than the assembly version and for builds you need to up the file version the whole time and not the assembly version.
