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) ...

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.
