title: How to syncronize Manifest version with assembly version
body: <p>I have read that "<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/7634652/561759">Microsoft likes making people enter duplicate information</a>", but I'm having trouble accepting that.</p>
  
  <p>There is a Version in the app manifest, and a version in assemblyinfo.cs. I am using default build and revision numbers in the assemblyinfo file as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.1.*")]
  [assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("1.1.*")]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I still seem to have to copy the build version into the manifest file WMAppManifest.xml manually.</p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;App xmlns="" RuntimeType="Silverlight" Version="1.1.0.6" ...&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Outside of setting up a tt template and build action to regenerate the manifest after build, is there no easy way to synchronize these version numbers?</p>
