How do I retreive the value of AssemblyTitleAttribute

[Roy Chastain]

I would like to be able to retrieve the values of several of the
AssemblyXXXAttribute classes. How do I get to them at runtime?

Thanks

Many of them you get with Assembly.GetCustomAttributes. For example

Assembly thisAsm = this.GetType().Assembly;
object[] attrs = thisAsm.GetCustomAttributes(
typeof(AssemblyTitleAttribute), false ) );
if ( attrs.Length == 1 )
Console.WriteLine( ((AssemblyTitleAttribute)attrs[0]).Title );

But AssemblyVersionAttribute becomes part of the assembly name, which
you retrieve with Assembly.GetName instead.

Console.WriteLine( thisAsm.GetName().Version );
