[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Anthony.D.Clay-1 Sent: Friday, June 13, 2003 1:44 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ADVANCED-DOTNET] Reflection Troubles I'm trying to get my application to display version information on the loading/splash screen by using reflection to retrieve the System.Reflection.AssemblyVersion attribute. But how do I retrieve the actual variable from an assembly? I'm doing something pretty wrong here. The version number returned ought to be 0.0.8888 or something to that effect. Also how do I extract the information from *other* assemblies? Sure I can use a custom Attribute, but I *need* to retrieve [Assembly: AssemblyVersion...]. The examples I managed to find in the msdn library don't tell me how to extract such information from an assembly. Can someone provide me with an example that can retieve The information embedded by assemblyinfo.cs in both the executing assembly and an assembly in the GAC or on disc?
