How to pass the value of build number format as a parameter to powershell script in TFS 2010

I have embedded a powershell script in my build process template, and I wish to pass the build number format to it as a parameter.

The build number format is a VBScript expression:

$(BuildDefinitionName)_$(Date:yyyyMMdd)_$(Rev:.r)

The arguments I am passing to the powershell script have the following expression:

String.Format(" ""& '{0}' '{1}' "" ", MyScriptFileName, BuildNumberFormat.ToString())

But at runtime, I see that the value is the literal

$(BuildDefinitionName)_$(Date:yyyyMMdd)_$(Rev:.r)

I need it in a form like 'DEV_20140520.2'

I am using TFS 2010. Any ideas how to get it in the right format?

Ok, I sorted it out myself, instead of BuildNumberFormat.ToString(), I used the property BuildDetail.BuildNumber
