Does anyone know of a good solution for adding the changeset number of a build (in TFS 2012) to the web.config of a web site being built?
We don't want it as part of the assembly version, but as a completely separate entry.
Thanks,
Kieron

You will have to add a Custom Workflow Activity to the build process template to do this.
Ewald Hofman has a great blog series on how to do this. Part 5 has a tutorial on editing the Assembly Version, you can use this as a template but instead edit your web.config.
You should find the Changeset Id in: the BuildDetail.SourceGetVersion property.
N.B. as this is TFS 2012, you will probably have Local Workspaces on by default, so you don't need to fiddle the Read Only flags on files.
