How do I pass the value of a property from one project to another?
I have the following target defined within my project file:

Main.csproj:

<Target Name="AfterBuild">
<Message Text="AssemblyMajorVersion = $(AssemblyMajorVersion)"/>
<Message Text="AssemblyMinorVersion = $(AssemblyMinorVersion)"/>
<Message Text="MaxAssemblyVersion = $(MaxAssemblyVersion)"/>
<Message Text="MaxAssemblyFileVersion = $(MaxAssemblyFileVersion)"/>
<CreateProperty Value="$(MaxAssemblyVersion)">
<Output TaskParameter="Value" PropertyName="MaxAssemblyVersion" />
</CreateProperty>
</Target>

I have an MSBuild proj file that neds to use MaxAssemblyName in order to do a ClickOnce publish:


Publish.proj:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project InitialTargets="GetDefaults;SetDefaults;DoBuild;GetAssemblyVersion"
DefaultTargets="DoPublish"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003"
ToolsVersion="3.5">
<Target Name="DoBuild" >
<Message Text="Building occ600 in $(BuildMode) mode"/>
<Exec Command="CALL vsvars32.bat"
Condition="'$(DevEnvDir)' == ''"
WorkingDirectory="$(VS90COMNTOOLS)" />
<MSBuild Projects="..\..\Source\OCC600.sln" Targets="Clean;Build" Properties="Configuration=$(BuildMode)" />
<Message Text="Built occ600 version = $(MaxAssemblyVersion) in $(BuildMode) mode"/>
</Target>

<Target Name="DoPublish">

<Message Text="Publising occ600 Version $(MaxAssemblyVersion)"/>
<MSBuild Projects="..\..\Source\Infrastructure\Infrastructure.Shell\Infrastructure.Shell.csproj" Targets="Publish"
Properties="ApplicationVersion=$(MaxAssemblyVersion);Configuration=$(BuildMode);PublishDir=$(ClickOnceInstallDirectory)" />

</Target>
<Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\MSBuildCommunityTasks\MSBuild.Community.Tasks.Targets"/>
<Import Project="..\..\Source\Infrastructure\Infrastructure.Shell\Main.csproj"/>

</Project>

But when control returns to this target, MaxAssemblyVersion is always empty. How do I pass MaxAssemblyVersion from Main.csproj to Publish.proj?

TIA,

Never mind. Used Environment variables to pass data.
