[RESOLVED] Assembly Information Retrieval

[Tjoppie]

How do I retrieve information that's saved in the assemblyinfo.vb file? What information is normally stored in that file? I want to like, view the information on my splash screen, like the copyright info etc etc that comes from the assembly info.

Thanks

Some of the info is available through the Application class.

The rest I think you would have to get via reflection, e.g.:

Dim copyrightAttributes As Object() = Reflection.Assembly.GetAssembly(Me.GetType()).GetCustomAttributes(GetType(Reflection.AssemblyCopyrightAttribute), True)
 
For Each attr As Reflection.AssemblyCopyrightAttribute In copyrightAttributes
    MessageBox.Show(attr.Copyright)
Next attr
