Re: [DOTNET] newbie question: How to read AssemblyTitle assembly attribute

[Ross Lambert]

Sean,

Thank you, your code worked nicely. It just seemed to me that something like
this:

                        Assembly asm = typeof(MyClass).Assembly;
                        AssemblyTitleAttribute ata = Attribute.GetCustomAttribute(asm,
AssemblyTitleAttribute);
                        string title = ata.Title;

...should have also worked. Of course, the code above doesn't compile
because GetCustomAttribute wants something else instead of
AssemblyTitleAttribute as the second param.

The docs say it is:

attributeType
The Type object to which the custom attributes are applied.

But I can't quite yet figure out what it should be. Or am I barking up the
wrong tree altogether?

Thanks.

This work for me:

Assembly asm = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
object[] atts = asm.GetCustomAttributes(false);

//find the AssemblyTitleAttribute
for(int n = 0; n < atts.Length; n++)
{
        if(atts[n] is AssemblyTitleAttribute)
        {
                AssemblyTitleAttribute ata = (AssemblyTitleAttribute)
atts[n];
                Console.WriteLine(ata.Title);
                break;
        }
}

DotNetters,

I'm bumfuzzled... I can read a custom class attribute but can't seem to do
the same for the assembly that contains it.

Anybody got that off the top of their 'ead? The attribute I'm looking for in
particular is the AssemblyTitle.

Thanks.
