The ThisAssembly.Info allows you access to the Assembly Information as constants, instead of going to reflection each time.

I found useful to see the assembly version right away in any project that I have.

This is how you can use ThisAssembly .

The code that you start with is


<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
	<PropertyGroup>
		<OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
		<TargetFramework>netcoreapp7.0</TargetFramework>
	</PropertyGroup>
	<PropertyGroup>
		<EmitCompilerGeneratedFiles>true</EmitCompilerGeneratedFiles>
		<CompilerGeneratedFilesOutputPath>$(BaseIntermediateOutputPath)\GeneratedX</CompilerGeneratedFilesOutputPath>
	</PropertyGroup>
	<PropertyGroup>
		<Version>2023.5.7.800</Version>
	</PropertyGroup>
	<ItemGroup>
		<PackageReference Include="ThisAssembly" Version="1.2.14" OutputItemType="Analyzer" ReferenceOutputAssembly="false">
			<PrivateAssets>all</PrivateAssets>
			<IncludeAssets>runtime; build; native; contentfiles; analyzers; buildtransitive</IncludeAssets>
		</PackageReference>
	</ItemGroup>
</Project>

The code that you will use is


var strVersion = ThisAssembly.Info.Version;
System.Console.WriteLine(strVersion);
