That is exactly what I wanted to do. I was just confused I guess by the docs
(that I was using from the pre-release .msi of .9 that Ian posted) which
only exposed a get method for Properties.
public PropertyDictionary Properties {virtual get;}
Thanks. This got me rolling again.

If you are writing the task, then you can just use the Properties
collection to set the property you want.
So if you want to write a SCVersion task to do this the syntax could be
something like this.
<scversion nextversion="nextVersion"/>
<echo message="next version is ${nextVersion}"/>
And your code would look something like this:
[TaskName("scversion")]
public class SCVersion : Task {
[TaskAttribute("nextversion", Required=true)]
public string NextVersionPropertyName { get{...} set{..} }
protected override void ExecuteTask() {
//get next version
string nextVersion = "1.0";
Properties[NextVersionPropertyName] = nextVersion;
}
}
But if you want to do something like this, as you can do in xslt, it
just doesn't work.
<property name="nextversion">
<getnextversion />
</property>
later,
Scott
