The parameters cannot be directly accessed outside of CC.NET. However you
can pass arguments into your script and then use them.
For MSBuild:
<msbuild>
<!-- Rest of the configuration -->
<buildArgs>/p:PreviousVersion=$[PreviousVersion]</buildArgs>
</msbuild>
For Nant:
<nant>
<!-- Rest of the configuration -->
<buildArgs>-D:PreviousVersion=$[PreviousVersion]</buildArgs>
</nant>
Once the parameter is in the script it can be used like any other parameter,
e.g. using $(PreviousVersion) or ${PreviousVersion} (depending on which
script engine you are using).

Subject: [ccnet-user] Not able to access dynamic parameters.
I have added dynamic parameters to one of my recent projects in
ccnet.config. I call my build file named default.proj from msbuild
task. When I try to access dynamic parameters in default.proj, it
returns no value.
Am I accessing the parameters correctly in default.proj or they cannot
be accessed outside ccnet.config file?
