我最终创建了一个不同的解决方案来让构建服务器自动版本我们的程序集。而不是使用 T4 动态创建一个 AssemblyInfo.cs 文件以通过项目链接共享到解决方案中的其他项目（因此必须处理为此目的而弄清楚如何使文件的重新生成保持最新的烦恼），我完全避免了T4。与第 3 方远程构建机器集成、管理允许 T4 操作等的插件和 SDK 的工作量太大。我从这个 SO question中找到了一个涉及MSBuild 社区任务的更简单的解决方案。与 T4 相比，该解决方案非常简单！以下是它的震动方式：
每次构建此项目 Application.Versioning.csproj 时，在第 3 方、Nuget 安装的“MSBuildCommunity Tasks”库中定义的 MSBUILD 任务会动态生成[AssemblyFileVersion]、[AssemblyInformationalVersion]、[AssemblyVersion]基于当前的 UTC 日期时间，并将它们输入到一个新文件 AutoVersion.cs 中，该文件位于该项目的“Properties”目录中（与 AssemblyInfo.cs 文件一起）。AssemblyInfo.cs 将这些程序集属性永远剔除，以避免多重定义的程序集属性的构建错误）。在生成 AutoVersion.cs 之后（发生在构建之前），编译器将上述程序集版本控制属性集成到构建的程序集中。此版本反映了它们构建的 UTC 时间（见下文）。
.sln 中的每个其他 .csproj 都订阅此动态的构建时程序集版本控制，创建指向生成的 AutoVersion.cs 文件的文件链接。这些程序集还必须对其 AssemblyInfo.cs 进行修剪。每次构建（或重建）MyApplication.Versioning.csproj 时，都会对 .sln 中的所有订阅 .csprojs 进行程序集版本控制。这是版本控制项目的 .csproj：
