How can I get the executing assembly version?

Question

I am trying to get the executing assembly version in C# 3.0 using the following code:

var assemblyFullName = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().FullName;
var ve         


        

Answer 1

I finally settled on typeof(MyClass).GetTypeInfo().Assembly.GetName().Version for a netstandard1.6 app. All of the other proposed answers presented a partial solution. This is the only thing that got me exactly what I needed.
