assemblyinfo

I'm working on a program, and I'm trying to display the assembly FILE version public static string Version { get { Assembly asm = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly(); FileVersionInfo fvi = FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(asm.Location); return String.Format("{0}.{1}", fvi.FileMajorPart, fvi.FileMinorPart); } } At the moment, this only returns the first two version numbers in the "AssemblyVersion", not "AssemblyFileVersion." I'd really like to just reference the AssemblyFileVersion rather than store an internal variable called "Version" that I have to update both this and the assembly version...

C#'s exception class has a source property which is set to the name of the assembly by default. Is there another way to get this exact string (without parsing a different string)? I have tried the following: catch(Exception e) { string str = e.Source; //"EPA" - what I want str = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().FullName; //"EPA, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" str = typeof(Program).FullName; //"EPA.Program" str = typeof(Program).Assembly.FullName; //"EPA, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" str = typeof(Program).Assembly.ToString(); //

I have an MSBuild script which compiles my existing solution but I'd like to change some properties of one of the projects within the solution at compile-time, including but not limited to AssemblyProduct and AssemblyTitle. Here's a snippet of my build script: <Target Name="Compile" > <MSBuild Projects="..\MySolution.sln" Properties="Configuration=MyReleaseConfig;Platform=x86" /> </Target> I've got one main executable and several DLLs that are compiled. I am aware of the MSBuild Extension Pack and I suspect it might help me to get to where I need to be, although I'm not sure how to proceed.
