How to avoid repeated constant string in .NET AssemblyVersion and AssemblyFileVersion

In a C# project, we increment versions manually and have a top-level file MyAssemblyInfo.cs containing

[assembly: AssemblyVersion("31.1.13")]
[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion("31.1.13")]
[assembly: AssemblyInformationalVersion("31.1.13-V1.0.0")]

I'd like to avoid repeating the version. For example, with the C preprocessor, one could write this as

#define VERSION "31.1.13"
[assembly: AssemblyVersion(VERSION)]
[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion(VERSION)]
[assembly: AssemblyInformationalVersion(VERSION "-V1.0.0")]

Is there a way to achieve this in C# without using any external tools?

Solution

[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion(AppVersion.Version)]
[assembly: AssemblyInformationalVersion(AppVersion.Version)]
// you can use + here but the format you use shows as invalid version for me
[assembly: AssemblyVersion(AppVersion.Version)] 

// this must be at the end of the global declarations
internal class AppVersion
{
    public const string Version = "31.1.13";
}
