How can I include version number in output file name?

Question

I'm using XML Manifest File and I'd like to have the project build version concatenated in the output file name

e.g: library-1.0.0.js

Is it possible or any work around?

Use https://msbuildextensionpack.codeplex.com/

 <MSBuild.ExtensionPack.Framework.Assembly TaskAction="GetInfo" NetAssembly="$(OutputPath)\xxx.dll" >
     <Output TaskParameter="OutputItems" ItemName="Info" />
     </MSBuild.ExtensionPack.Framework.Assembly>
     <Message Text="Version: %(Info.AssemblyVersion)" Importance="high" />
