Visual studio. AssemblyVersion with * don't work

Add <Deterministic> tag with false value and use * for the 3'rd part of AssemblyVersion inside <PropertyGroup> in .csproj file:

<PropertyGroup>
    <ProduceReferenceAssembly>true</ProduceReferenceAssembly>
    <Version>1.0.0</Version>
    <AssemblyVersion>1.0.*</AssemblyVersion>
    <Deterministic>false</Deterministic>
</PropertyGroup>

I guess you were able to use it earlier and can't anymore.

Reason - There have been some changes to Visual Studio as the new project files now default to 'True' for 'Deterministic' attribute.

Solution - as Hans Passant says, edit project file by hand. Cons to doing it, also as he says.

VS2019 can auto-create an .editorconfig file putting severity as 'suggest', which content is like this:

[*.cs]

    # CS7035: The specified version string does not conform to the recommended format - major.minor.build.revision
    dotnet_diagnostic.CS7035.severity = suggestion
