How to read the assemblyversion from assemblyInfo.cs?
installation, msbuild, windows-installer
Solution
The only solution is to write a custom build task, and parse the version number manually in the code.
Problem
Hii, there are many others had already post so many question about this..But here the scenario is different. I need to extract the first three digits ie. `$(major).$(Minor).$(Build)` from version number. how can i do this??..i tried `AssemblyInfo` Task..but that task is just for overwriting the version number.not to extract the version number. I need to extract first three number and assign them to some property.for further use. well,i can overwrite them using `FileUpdate` task.like :: ``` <FileUpdate Files="@(AssemblyFile)" Regex='(\d+)\.(\d+)\.(\d+)\.(\d+)' ReplacementText='$1.$2.$3.$(Revision)'> </FileUpdate> ``` now how can i use their value ie. `$1,$2,$3` to assign to properties.??? Thanx.
