I have the following line of code in .NET 4.5 that I am trying to build as Portable Class Library. It's purpose is to get assembly version:
this.GetType().Assembly.GetName().Version.Major;
The problem is that Assembly.GetName() is not available in PCL. Is there a way to get assembly version in PCL?
I know it is possible to parse Assembly.FullName, but I want a better solution.
public static string Version
{
get
{
var assembly = typeof(MyType).GetTypeInfo().Assembly;
// In some PCL profiles the above line is: var assembly = typeof(MyType).Assembly;
var assemblyName = new AssemblyName(assembly.FullName);
return assemblyName.Version.Major + "." + assemblyName.Version.Minor;
}
}
