I suggest adding an AssemblyFunctions class with the following functions :
assembly::get-version(string) assembly::get-major-version(string) assembly::get-minor-version(string) assembly::get-revision-version(string) assembly::get-build-version(string) assembly::get-full-name(string) assembly::get-name(string) assembly::get-culture(string)
You wouldn't even have to load the assembly in a separate domain explicitly as the AssemblyName.GetAssemblyName method will do this for you.
So it seems like a 10 minute job (for which I don't have time right now as I'm about to leave, but I could add this tomorrow or so) ...

Ian,
You are WAY beyond me. I am just learning to use the existing tasks, never mind write my own. :)

If your dll is a .net assembly you could load it using Assembly.LoadFrom
somthing like:
assembly = Assembly.LoadFrom( AssemblyPath ); AssemblyName name = assembly.GetName(); version = name.Version.ToString();
should do the trick. Its a good candidate for a custom function. For extra points load the assembly in a new AppDomain so it doesn't pollute the nant process space.

Hi All,
I am creating a build script that deploys our last successful daily build to our QA machine.
How could I get the version/build number from a dll? Any ideas? I could get the last build number from the build number file that my version task uses, however, if that build failed it will not be the one in the daily build area.
Thanks,
Bob
