How to get <Version> from .csproj into artifact zipfile's name
For a .Net Core 3 C# project I have successfully set up a build process with artifact upload via SFTP.
How can I include the <Version> statement in the .csproj file as a part of the zipfile's name that is uploaded? E.g. "mybuild-v1.0.0.0.zip"
I know I can specify for example (under Artifacts):
Path: consoleapp1\bin\debug\netcoreapp3.0
Name: files%APPVEYOR_BUILD_VERSION%
But this is Appveyor's version, and not the project version itself.
Is the solution to write a script that manually extracts the <Version> value from the xml file into an environment variable and then refer to that? Or is it a built in appveyor way?

To answer myself here I can add that this Before Build PS script works:
nuget restore
[xml]$cn = Get-Content consoleapp1\consoleapp1.csproj
$Env:vn += $cn.Project.PropertyGroup.Version
I can then create an artifact with the Deployment name file%cn% and %cn% is replaced with the version string from the csproj file.
However, I wonder if there is a better way?

You can do it other way around using .csproj patching.
Some more details: Variables
{version},{build},{branch}are shortcuts implemented specifically to use with patching. Use them exactly as described (in{}curly brackets).All other environment variables can be used too, but use them using standard environment variable notation --
$(variable).But if you are going to bake version in
.csproj, we have no solution better than what you already figured out.Ilya Finkelshteyn closed this discussion on 22 Jun, 2019 09:01 PM.
