Silverlight 3 alternative to FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo

Within a Silverlight 3.0 application I want to use the AssemblyFileVersion to display the version information of the application. This is not the same as the AssemblyVersion and is typically retrieved in a .NET application using code such as:

var executingAssembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
var fileVersionInfo = FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(executingAssembly.Location);
var versionL开发者_运维问答abel = fileVersionInfo.FileVersion;

Unfortunately Silverlight 3.0 runtime does not include the FileVersionInfo class. Is there an alternative way to access this information?


Here's a way to do it with attributes - I'm not sure if it will work in Silverlight though so you'll have to let me know.

Assembly assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
object[] attributes = assembly.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(AssemblyFileVersionAttribute), false);
if (attributes != null && attributes.Length > 0)
{
    AssemblyFileVersionAttribute fileVersionAttribute = (AssemblyFileVersionAttribute)attributes[0];
    string version = fileVersionAttribute.Version;
}


I found a solution to this in a twitter post by Craig Young (courtesy of Google's page caching) using Assembly.GetCustomAttributes as follows

var executingAssembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
var customAttributes = executingAssembly.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(AssemblyFileVersionAttribute), false);
if (customAttributes != null)
{
   var assemblyFileVersionAttribute = customAttributes[0] as AssemblyFileVersionAttribute;
   var fileVersionLabel = assemblyFileVersionAttribute.Version;
}

Posting this solution for future reference.
