Why are my CruiseControl.Net fields not available in my build script?

Question

I have a .Net 4.0 project that I wish to build in CruiseControl.Net.

It is now set up, so it builds a publish-build and works perfectly except for the version number, where I can't reference CCNetLabel, that I wish to use for the last digit of the version number.

When I do try to reference the field/variable, I'm told that it's unknown.

It would seem that CC.Net does not 'transfer' the values to my script, but what am I doing wrong?

Below ccnet.config and product-ci.config

Thanks for any suggestions,

Anders, Denmark

The CCNetLabel is passed as a property to the MSBuild project file and available inside it for use.I use it like this with a default value.

<PropertyGroup>
<CCNetLabel Condition="$(CCNetLabel)==''">0.0.0.0</CCNetLabel>
</PropertyGroup>

Hi Pratik, thanks for taking the time. I would need a bit more help, though. I have now downloaded the svnRevisionLabeller which works like a charm. I get the revisions I aim for. The Published version is still 1.0.0.3 as written in the source files (and displayed in VS). How do I get it the last step into msbuild? I Can't seem to find parameters that fit... – Anders Juul Dec 08 '10 at 10:15
My solution was as follows - I did'nt have the version parameter in the line. Thanks for helping out, Anders – Anders Juul Dec 08 '10 at 10:41
