Automate build questions...

[JeffTucker]

Is there some way that an automated build could set the project version (like 7.0.310.0) automatically and have a new version and update pack created?
We have an external file called "SmartClient.Build.Number" that is updated by NAnt that contains the real product version. It is tough to start and stop our automated processes just so we can keep that number the same as the product version. I'd like to have the text in the build number file drive the product version.

I figure it is possible to do this with a compiler variable, BUT
I need a way to setup a new update pack as well. The location is based on the build number.

I tried to add various dlls as interops (per the documentation in IA) to Visual Studio 2008, but all are rejected as not being valid. I can't see any dll that is accessible via the CLR. I wanted to browse the API that is exposed, but can't find one at all. Are there any?
