[Nant-users] How do you pass properties from NAnt to C#?

Title: How do you pass properties from NAnt to C#?

I've been using Ant for years and have always used the following way to pass properties from my build.xml files to my Java programs:

<sysproperty key="my.property" value="${my.property}" />

In Java, I can access this property by:

System.getProperty("my.property");

I want to do the exact same thing but using NAnt and C#. I've tried doing this in NAnt:

        <property name="sys.env.my.property" value="my.property.value"/>

        <sysinfo verbose="true"/>

And then this in C#:

Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("sys.env.my.property"); //doesn't work

Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("my.property"); //doesn't work either

How can you access properties that are set in a build file, from a C# program?

Thanks for any help.
