How to retrieve AssemblyInfo in C#
Posted by: Rickie / June. 29, 2006
The following code snippet shows you how to programmatically retrieve information from AssemblyInfo.cs, e.g. AssemblyProduct, AssemblyVersion, AssemblyCopyright.
Take the following AssemblyInfo.cs as an example:
…
[assembly: AssemblyTitle("Enjoy coding experience")]
[assembly: AssemblyDescription("")]
[assembly: AssemblyConfiguration("")]
[assembly: AssemblyCompany("http://rickie.cnblogs.com/")]
[assembly: AssemblyProduct("your proudct name")]
[assembly: AssemblyCopyright("Copyright © Rickie 2006")]
[assembly: AssemblyTrademark("")]
[assembly: AssemblyCulture("")]
The code snippet in C# is used to retrieve the above information in AssemblyInfo.cs.
Assembly a = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
txtVersion.Text = a.GetName().Version.ToString();
object[] attrib = a.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(AssemblyProductAttribute), false);
lblTitle.Text = ((AssemblyProductAttribute)attrib[0]).Product;
attrib = a.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(AssemblyCopyrightAttribute), false);
lblCopyright.Text = ((AssemblyCopyrightAttribute)attrib[0]).Copyright;
attrib = a.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(AssemblyTitleAttribute), false);
lblTitleCN.Text = ((AssemblyTitleAttribute)attrib[0]).Title;
