.NET: One version file for all projects in solution

Glean a colleague the method of keeping the version info of all projects in solution:

1. Create file VersionInfo.cs in solution root folder near .sln file.
2. Put version info into the file:
   

   using System.Reflection;
   
   [assembly: AssemblyCompany("wonderu.com")]
   [assembly: AssemblyCopyright("Copyright © wonderu.com 2011")]
   [assembly: AssemblyTrademark("")]
   [assembly: AssemblyCulture("")]
   
   [assembly: AssemblyVersion("3.7.1.2")]
   [assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("3.7.1.2")]
   

3.  Delete corresponding assembly attributes from all AssemblyInfo.cs files
4. Link to VersionInfo.cs file in all projects: Project -> Add Existing Item... -> Add as a Link (down arrow near the "Add" button).

SVN: How to commit ("the true way")

Follow the simple rules then you commit to source control (SVN e.g.):

1. Before committing the code please update ALL sources. Your code may have references to code in other folders.
2. Build whole solution.
3. Run unit-tests. You can use the minimal acceptance scenario for these purposes.
4. (optional) Run check style utilities such as StyleCop or FxCop.
5. (optional) Deploy solution locally and manually check changed cases and related functionality.
6. Commit the code with log message:
• Use notation:
• "[+] something has been added (new functions, files etc.)"
• "[*] something has been changed  (fix bugs, refactoring etc.)"
• "[-] something has been deleted (delete files, unused classes etc.)"
• Add Jira or other bugtracker issue number to comments. If you use integrated tools e.g. TortoiseSVN+CSharpTest.Net or Visual Studio+TFS you could select the issue number in the client tool.
• Add an additional comments about the changes
7. Check how your code builds on the build-server.
8. Keep in mind that if your commit is the reason for the project to fail building or otherwise causes a severe bug, you will be taken out of wherever you are (bath, bar, bed whatever) and will be forced into your workplace to fix the problem ASAP ;)

SVN: How to get SVN log with C#
