# ApplyVersionToAssemblies.ps1
#
# Look for a 0.0.0.0 pattern in the build number. 
# If found use it to version the assemblies.
#
# For example, if the 'Build number format' build process parameter 
# $(BuildDefinitionName)_$(Year:yyyy).$(Month).$(DayOfMonth)$(Rev:.r)
# then your build numbers come out like this:
# "Build HelloWorld_2013.07.19.1"
# This script would then apply version 2013.07.19.1 to your assemblies.
