Access the AssemblyInfo.vb from a DLL

Does anyone know how to get the version out of the assembly info file for a DLL.

You can just do Application.ProductVersion in an exe to get the version, but doing this in a dll that is called from the exe just returns the exe’s version.

Thanks in advance.

Code:

---

private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) {
    System.Reflection.Assembly a = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
    string version = a.GetName().Version.Major + "." + a.GetName().Version.Minor + "." + a.GetName().Version.Revision;
    MessageBox.Show(version);
}

Hey! Thought this was a VB forum. LOL.

Thanks for the code, it worked perfectly. Good 'ol reflection.

C#, VB.NET, J#, what's the difference, were all friends here...;)

I was dealing with the same issue. but needed GUID Lethal code works perfect but I couldnt get GUID using the same method. So i used
System.Runtime.InteropServices.GuidAttribute

Just in case u need that.
