Assembly Version via Reflection

Paul

Hi,

I'm trying to retrieve my assembly's version using
Reflection so my testers could report bugs appropriately.

I tried the following code, but I didn't see
AssemblyVersionAttribute:

object[] attribs = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly
().GetCustomAttributes(true);
foreach (Attribute attrib in attribs)
{
AssemblyVersionAttribute ver = null;
if ((ver = attrib as AssemblyVersionAttribute) != null)
{
version.Text = "Version " + ver.Version;
break;
}
}

Can someone give a pointer?

Thanks,
Paul

Paul,

AssemblyVersionAttribute is a pseudo-custom attribute. It doesn't get
stored in metadata the way other custom attributes are, instead it
becomes part of the assembly name.

Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Version
