How do you get version number suffix from assembly version?

Question

Pretty simple one: I have the following version number with an rc suffix in my project file. This is allowed according to this document and it compiles without warning.

<PropertyGroup>
    <Version>3.0.2.1294-rc</Version>
</PropertyGroup>

When accessing said version information with the line

I don't see the suffix information anywhere. Anyone know a way to extract that suffix information?

I think you may be looking for this attribute:

var infoVersion = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly()?
  .GetCustomAttribute<AssemblyInformationalVersionAttribute>()?
  .InformationalVersion
