Update project property with a powershell script

Question

I want to create a nuget package which will run a Powershell script on restore in a C# project. The script will change the values of the project properties on the project e.g.:

Set value of

<AssemblyVersion>1.0.0.0</AssemblyVersion>

to

<AssemblyVersion>$(ReleaseApplicationVersion)</AssemblyVersion>

and some other properties.

Thanks in advance!

UPDATE-------------------------------------------

This is what I have

param([string]$projectName = $(throw 'csproj file is required'))

$proj = Resolve-Path $projectName

$propAssemblyName = $proj.Properties.Item("AssemblyName")
$propAssemblyName.Value = '$(ReleasedAssemblyName)'

But I obviously dont know how to make this work as I get bunch of issues. Thanks

function Set-Version {
    Write-Header "Updating version in .csproj files"
 
    try {
        Push-Location ".\csprojLocation"
        $versionProjFile = Resolve-Path "*.csproj"
        $xml = [xml](Get-Content $versionProjFile)
        $xml.Project.PropertyGroup.AssemblyVersion = ${version}
        $xml.Save($versionPropsFile)
    }
    finally {
        Pop-Location
    }
}
 
Set-Version
