Create a C# AssemblyInfo file containing an attribute with multiple named properties by setting the NAnt.DotNet.Types.AssemblyAttribute.AsIs attribute on the NAnt.DotNet.Types.AssemblyAttribute element to true. 

    <asminfo output="AssemblyInfo.cs" language="CSharp">
    <imports>
        <import namespace="log4net.Config" />
    </imports>
    <attributes>
        <attribute type="DOMConfiguratorAttribute" value="ConfigFile=&quot;config.log4net&quot;,Watch=true" asis="true" />
    </attributes>
