Programatically getting my AssemblyVersion

[herc]

How does one get the AssemblyVersion of the currently excuting
assembly? At first glance, it would appear that this would give you
the AsseblyName which will give you the version:

string appName =
AppDomain.Curre ntDomain.SetupI nformation.Appl icationName;
AssemblyName assemblyName = AssemblyName.Ge tAssemblyName(a ppName);

But the appname is <name>.vshost.e xe. Is there any way to find out the
name of the assembly minus the vshost?

The answer:

string appName = Assembly.GetAss embly(this.GetT ype()).Location ;
AssemblyName assemblyName = AssemblyName.Ge tAssemblyName(a ppName);
return assemblyName.Ve rsion.ToString( );

Or just

return this.GetType(). Assembly.GetNam e().Version.ToS tring();

A shorter way:

Assembly.GetExe cutingAssembly( ).GetName.Versi on.ToString()
