This is actually just a limitation inside of Silverlight. For some reason
Assembly.GetName() is a security critical method and cannot be called. It
also fails in a simple C# Hello world app with:
Attempt by security transparent method
'SilverlightApplication1.MainPage..ctor()' to access security critical method
'System.Reflection.Assembly.GetName()' failed.
I have no clue why this limitation exists (maybe some information disclosure
issue?) but I think you could do:
AssemblyName(assembly.FullName).Name
instead.
