Consider expanding programmatic modification of the Build Process. There is already an Idea here to allow the Pre-Build Action to set the Version Specification before the Build Process (it happens during the Build process, after the before-the-change Version Specification has been cached and used in the Build). However, other Specifications in the Build Spec would be very useful to be able to specify in a (true) Pre-Build Action.
I've noticed references on the Web to automated Builds, and know there are Build VIs that will do a Build. I also know there are a set of "barely-documented" APIs that some have used for this purpose, but I don't know (other than the Set Version Specification, which doesn't work as I expected in a Pre-Build Action) of others. I don't especially want to poke around inside the Project's XML file -- can we consider adding some other "Pre-Build" Set functions? Could (for example) some of these "Build Properties" be set with a Property Node? Maybe this functionality is already there and I've not found it ...
