Versioning Powershell check

I used the NerdBank.GitVersion tool for a large solution with multiple projects and wanted to check if every assembly has the proper versioning stamp. After right-clicking some of the output files and checking the explorer details, I came to the conclusion to write a script for listing all the wanted infos.

Powershell lets you do this and with some research I came up with the following script:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13

Get-ChildItem -Filter *.dll -Recurse |
    ForEach-Object {
        try {
            $_ | Add-Member NoteProperty FileVersion ($_.VersionInfo.FileVersion)
            $_ | Add-Member NoteProperty AssemblyVersion ([Reflection.AssemblyName]::GetAssemblyName($_.FullName).Version)
            $_ | Add-Member NoteProperty ProductName ($_.VersionInfo.ProductName)
            $_ | Add-Member NoteProperty ProductVersion ($_.VersionInfo.ProductVersion)
            $_ | Add-Member NoteProperty LegalCopyright ($_.VersionInfo.LegalCopyright)

        } catch {}
        $_
    } |
    Select-Object Name,FileVersion,AssemblyVersion,ProductName,ProductVersion,LegalCopyright

With [Reflection.AssemblyName]::GetAssemblyName($_.FullName). you can get the assemblyINfo properties and with $_.VersionInfo. you get infos to the following FileInfo properties:

  • OriginalFilename
  • FileDescription
  • ProductName
  • Comments
  • CompanyName
  • FileName
  • FileVersion
  • ProductVersion
  • IsDebug
  • IsPatched
  • IsPreRelease
  • IsPrivateBuild
  • IsSpecialBuild
  • Language
  • LegalCopyright
  • LegalTrademarks
  • PrivateBuild
  • SpecialBuild
