Access the AssemblyInfo.vb from a DLL

[VBCrazyCoder]

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.

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);
}

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.
