#Increasing version numbers in project.json or AssemblyInfo.cs using Powershell

As part of an automated deployment process, I needed to increase the minor version numbers stored in both project.json and AssemblyInfo.cs files. I achieved this with broadly similar powershell scripts.

Project.json

## This script picks up a json file, locates the version property and
## increases the most minor version number by 1.

# This powershell script is aimed at batch replacing version numbers
# in assembly info files. Provide the old version number that needs replacing
# and the new version number to replace it with. Run the script
# in the solution directory (e.g. the one that contains [ProjectName]\properties folders)
Param([string]$oldVersion, [string]$newVersion)

foreach($folder in Get-ChildItem -dir) {
	$assemblyInfoPath = "$folder\properties\AssemblyInfo.cs"
	Write-Host "Assembly info path: $assemblyInfoPath"
	if(Test-Path $assemblyInfoPath) {

Creating and Publishing NuGet Packages

This document describes how to publish a nuget packages by creating a nuspec and then publishing it to a server.

How do we get from dll to publish nuget package?

In order to publish dlls as a nuget package, we need to perform these three steps:

1. Create a nuspec;

Using AutoMapper to map complex classes with members that are hidden behind an interface

Background

I recently wanted to use AutoMapper (a .NET library for mapping objects of one type to another) to map class containing many properties that were of a type that also needed to be mapped to another, similar type. To make matters worse, the type that I wanted to map to didn't just have properties of a custom type, but these types were actually interfaces with custom implementations.

For example, the type I wanted to map from looked something like this:

public class OriginalParent
{
  public OriginalChild ChildProperty { get; }

$dbName = "MyDatabase"
$serverAddress = ".\SqlServer"

# Delete the existing database.
$server = new-Object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server($serverAddress)
if($server.Databases[$dbName)
{
    $server.KillDatabase($dbName)
}

winrm s winrm/config/client '@{TrustedHosts="myservername.domain"}'

# To list the trusted hosts:
Get-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts
