Verifying .net assembly attributes recursively

I was once given the responsibility of verifying the assembly attributes of all the assemblies in a .NET solution prior to each release. This was a very monotonous job considering the fact that this had to be done manually. For two of the releases, I used to open the properties of each dotnet assembly and verify if the attributes were correct in the release version. In a better situation I would have gone through the assemblyinfo.cs in each project and verified it (which is no better), but sadly I did not have access to the versioning server.

I did a bit of soul searching and decided that this was not the correct way to go through it. I wrote a small win app that could be used to do this

FileStream txtfile;

StreamWriter sw;

private void btnCheck_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

try

{

txtfile = new FileStream(txtOutputFile.Text, FileMode.Create , FileAccess.Write);

sw = new StreamWriter(txtfile);

txtDirectoryPath.Text = dlgDirBrowser.SelectedPath;

string directoryPath = txtDirectoryPath.Text;

DirectoryInfo directoryInfo = new DirectoryInfo(directoryPath);

TraverseFolder(directoryInfo);

}

catch

{

MessageBox.Show("Directory path incorrect");

}

finally

{

sw.Close();

txtfile.Close();

MessageBox.Show("Done. File created "+ txtOutputFile.Text);

}

}

public void TraverseFolder(DirectoryInfo directoryInfo)

{

foreach (FileInfo fileInfo in directoryInfo.GetFiles("projectname*.dll"))

{

FileVersionInfo fileVersionInfo = FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(fileInfo.FullName);

bool finalCheck;

finalCheck = (Assembly.LoadFrom(fileInfo.FullName).GetName().Version.ToString() == txtAssemblyVersion.Text)

&& (fileVersionInfo.ProductVersion == txtProductVersion.Text)

&& (fileVersionInfo.FileDescription == fileVersionInfo.OriginalFilename.Substring(0,fileVersionInfo.OriginalFilename.Length -4))

&& (fileVersionInfo.FileVersion == txtFileVersion.Text)

&& (fileVersionInfo.LegalCopyright == txtLegalCopyright.Text)

&& (fileVersionInfo.CompanyName == txtCompanyName.Text )

&& (fileVersionInfo.InternalName == fileVersionInfo.OriginalFilename)

&& (fileVersionInfo.ProductName == txtProductName.Text);

if (finalCheck == false)

sw.WriteLine(fileInfo.Name + " : Incorrect");

//else

// sw.WriteLine(fileInfo.FullName + " : Correct");

}

DirectoryInfo[] directories = directoryInfo.GetDirectories();

foreach(DirectoryInfo newDir in directories)

{

sw.WriteLine(" ");

sw.WriteLine("Directory: " + newDir.FullName);

TraverseFolder(newDir); // recursive call

}

}
