RemoveDiffs production flag option does not remove all occurences of the Runtime Version added to generated files

Using the default production flag options both the file generation date and the Runtime Version are displayed as shown below:

Notice that the Build Version is listed twice

// CodeFluent Entities generated (http://www.softfluent.com). Date: Thursday, 28 January 2016 13:41.
// Build:1.0.61214.0805
[System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute("CodeFluent Entities", "1.0.61214.0805")]

When I set defaultProducerProductionFlags to "Default, Overwrite, RemoveDates" it still displays one of the build numbers

// CodeFluent Entities generated (http://www.softfluent.com). Date: .
[System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute("CodeFluent Entities", "1.0.01234.05678")]
Solution

  • The CodeFluent Entities build number cannot be removed totally. If you have a closer look, the build number is a "magic" sequence:

    1.0.01234.05678

    This is used to avoid merge conflicts in source control, and is guaranteed to never change.
