How do I programmatically get the GUID of an application in .NET 2.0

Question

I need to access the assembly of my project in C# .NET 2.0.

I can see the GUID in the 'Assembly Information' dialog in under project properties, and at the moment I have just copied it to a const in the code. The GUID will never change, so this is not that bad of a solution, but it would be nice to access it directly. Is there a way to do this?

Try the following code. The value you are looking for is stored on a GuidAttribute instance attached to the Assembly

using System.Runtime.InteropServices;  static void Main(string[] args) {     var assembly = typeof(Program).Assembly;     var attribute = (GuidAttribute)assembly.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(GuidAttribute),true)[0];     var id = attribute.Value;     Console.WriteLine(id); }
