Retrieve AssemblyCompanyName from Class Library

Question

I would like to get the AssemblyCompany attribute from a WinForm project inside of my C# class library. In WinForms, I can get to this information by using:

Application.CompanyName;

However, I can't seem to find a way to get at that same information using a class library. Any help you could provide would be great!

Answer 1

Get Type instance of any type from this library. then from this Type get Assembly Instance. Then get Version.

Answer 2

To get the assembly in which your current code (the class library code) actually resides, and read its company attribute:

Assembly currentAssem = typeof(CurrentClass).Assembly;
object[] attribs = currentAssem.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(AssemblyCompanyAttribute), true);
if(attribs.Length > 0)
{
    string company = ((AssemblyCompanyAttribute)attribs[0]).Company
}

Answer 3

    Assembly assembly = typeof(CurrentClass).GetAssembly();
    AssemblyCompanyAttribute companyAttribute = AssemblyCompanyAttribute.GetCustomAttribute(assembly, typeof(AssemblyCompanyAttribute)) as AssemblyCompanyAttribute;
    if (companyAttribute != null)
    {
        string companyName = companyAttribute.Company;
        // Do something
    }
