How to get exe application name and version in C# Compact Framework

Question

My application has an exe and uses some DLLs. I am writing all in C#.

In one DLL I want to write a method to get the application name and version from the version in

Answer 1

System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().GetName().Version;

This function will give version of Application from where other libraries are loaded.

System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Version;

This will give version of current library. If you call this in Application library you will get application version and if call this in a DLL then will get that DLL version.

So in my opinion System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().GetName().Version; is currect function to use.
