Display project version in ASP.NET Core 1.0.0 web application

Question

None of what used to work in RC.x helps anymore.

I have tried these:

1. PlatformServices.Default.Application.ApplicationVersion;

2. typeof(Controller).GetTypeInfo().Assembly.GetCustomAttribute<AssemblyFileVersionAttribute>().Version;

3. Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().GetName().Version.ToString();

They all return 1.0.0.0 instead of 1.0.0-9 which should be after execution of the dotnet publish --version-suffix 9 having this in project.json: "version": "1.0.0-*"

Basically they give me "File version" from the attached picture instead of "Product version" which dotnet publish actually seems to change.

Answer 1

For version 1.x:

Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().GetCustomAttribute<AssemblyInformationalVersionAttribute>().InformationalVersion; 

For version 2.0.0 this attribute contains something ugly: 2.0.0 built by: dlab-DDVSOWINAGE041 so use this one:

typeof(RuntimeEnvironment).GetTypeInfo().Assembly.GetCustomAttribute<AssemblyFileVersionAttribute>().Version;
