The file used with the <version> task is a plain text file with only the version number in it.
For example, create a new text file and rename it to: 'build.number' Open the file with a text editor and add your version number: 1.0.0.0 The <version> task will read the version number, apply its incrementing algorithm, copy the new version number into a property whose name you specify with the 'prefix' attrib (default is 'sys', so the property name will be 'sys.version'), then save the new version number back into the file for the next build. You can then use the <asminfo> task to generate AssemblyInfo.xx file, specifying the version with: <asminfo ...> ... <attributes> <attribute type="AssemblyVersionAttribute" value="${sys.version}" /> ... </attributes> </asminfo> In order for all of my projects in the solution to use the same AssemblyVersion.xx file, I create this file at the solution root, then add it to my projects as a link . Web projects, however, won't allow you to add files as a link. In this case, I simply use a <copy> task to put it with my Web projects.
