I have a C# library project with a build task that writes the current SVN revision into a file named Version.cs. The resulting file contains just this single line:

[assembly: System.Reflection.AssemblyVersion(0.0.0.1325)]

I’ve removed the pre-existing AssemblyVersion attribute from the AssemblyInfo.cs file.

When compiling using Mono, the gmcs compiler doesn’t like this – it throws the following parse error:

'value' is invalid attribute target. All attributes in this attribute section will be ignored

Any ideas why this is happening? Surely AssemblyInfo.cs isn’t some sort of “special” file – I’d rather not have to write the version attribute into that…

I haven’t tried it under Windows/VS.NET yet (it needs to be able to compile on both platforms).
