Build Info from C# and VB

Generates a C# or VB ThisAssembly class that contains static information about the build environment. Use it e.g. to construct your AssemblyVersion:

[assembly: AssemblyVersion ("1.0.0." + ThisAssembly.BuildEvn.BuildId)]

Currently available are:

• ThisAssembly.BuildEnv.BuildId: Set by the TFS/DevOps Build pipeline (see: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/build/variables?view=azdevops)
• ThisAssembly.BuildEnv.BuildNumber Set by the TFS/DevOps Build pipeline (see: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/build/variables?view=azdevops)
• ThisAssembly.BuildEnv.BuildRepositoryClean Set by the TFS/DevOps Build pipeline (see: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/build/variables?view=azdevops)
• ThisAssembly.BuildEnv.Username The username as set in the environment variables.

Available MSBuild customizations:

• $(BuildInfoThisAssembly): set to 'false' to prevent assembly metadata and constants generation.

• $(BuildInfoAssemblyMetadata): set to 'false' to prevent assembly metadata generation only. Defaults to 'false'.

• $(BuildInfoAssemblyNamespace): allows overriding the namespace for the ThisAssembly class. Defaults to the global namespace.

This was inspired by GitInfo which uses the same generation process and can easly be used alongside BuildInfo (https://github.com/kzu/GitInfo).
