How to Auto tag Mercurial on Visual Studio Publish?

I am using TortoiseHg + VisualHg on Visual Studio 2008. Has anyone found way to automatically create a tag (with the published version number) in Mercurial whenever I do a publish开发者_开发问答 from VS?

You can run a custom script to perform the hg tag operation as an "AfterPublish" action. Have a look at the MSBuild documentation:

• How to: Extend the Visual Studio Build Process

You will need to modify your project to add a custom target like this:

<Project>
    ...
    <Target Name="AfterBuild">
        <Exec Command="hg tag %(TAGNAME)"/>
    </Target>
</Project>

Thanks to gavinb's answer and Sumo's comment. This is the way I did it for my WinForms application:

  <Import Project="$(MSBuildToolsPath)\Microsoft.CSharp.targets" />
  <Target Name="AfterPublish">
    <GetAssemblyIdentity AssemblyFiles="$(OutputPath)\$(AssemblyName).exe">
      <Output TaskParameter="Assemblies" ItemName="AssemblyIdentities" />
    </GetAssemblyIdentity>
    <Exec Command="hg tag %(AssemblyIdentities.Version)" />
  </Target>
