I am using Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().GetName() to get application/assembly name and its version but I do not see any variable for company name and copyright. How do I get that?

You can use FileVersionInfo like this:

var versionInfo = FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location);

var companyName = versionInfo.CompanyName;
