An easier way is to create a custom MSBuild task to get the version
number and pass it in as a pre-processor variable:
<Target Name="BeforeBuild">
<MyGetVersionTask>
<Output TaskParameter="Version" PropertyName="MyVersion" />
</MyGetVersionTask>
<CreateProperty Value="Version=$(MyVersion);$(DefineConstants)">
<Output TaskParameter="Value" PropertyName="DefineConstants" />
</CreateProperty>
</Target>
This will pass in your version into candle as a pre-processor variable,
which you can access with $(var.Version).

John
