.Net Core app Versioning

Question

Hi,

I have a .net core application which is containerized and deployed in AKS.

I would like to version the application, so that the version can be picked up by Azure devops build pipeline(YAML file), What is the right place to put the version, so that build yaml file can read it from?

see docs for build number:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/process/run-number?view=azure-devops

note: use the build number values to environment variable(s) supplied to the build by DevOps to add the build number to code. if you manually want to control the build number rather than DevOps, just define the env variable statically.

.net core by default allow setting the assemble info from build:
