Get assembly version in PCL

Question

I have the following line of code in .NET 4.5 that I am trying to build as Portable Class Library. It\'s purpose is to get assembly version:

this.GetType().A         


        

Answer 1

I now use the following:

[assembly: AssemblyTitle(AssemblyInfo.AssemblyTitle)]
[assembly: AssemblyProduct(AssemblyInfo.AssemblyProduct)]

[assembly: AssemblyVersion(AssemblyInfo.AssemblyVersion)]
[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion(AssemblyInfo.AssemblyFileVersion)]
[assembly: AssemblyInformationalVersion(AssemblyInfo.AssemblyInformationalVersion)]

internal class AssemblyInfo
{
    public const string AssemblyTitle = "...";
    public const string AssemblyProduct = "...";

    public const string AssemblyVersion = "1.0.0.0";
    public const string AssemblyFileVersion = "1.0.0.0";
    public const string AssemblyInformationalVersion = "1.0.0.0-dev";
}

This allows me to reference any of the constants within the assembly without using reflection, e.g. AssemblyInfo.AssemblyProduct.
