If I run Candle from the command line, I can set an environmental variable to the contents of the file containing my project version number:
set/p ProjectVersion=<version.txt I can then use refer to it as $(env.ProjectVersion) in the Candle source file. However, I have not found a way to do the same in Visual Studio 2010. Environmental variables set in a pre-build event do not seem to show up. Is there an alternative? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Offer Buy your Sophos next-gen firewall before the end March 2013 and get the hardware for free!
