Xamarin -> System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly doesn't work

Question

I try to include a .csv file in my xamarin.forms project. The problem is, that I think it's only available for all the platforms at once when I use the file as an embedded resource. My assembly only has three methods:

Equals()
Load()
ReferenceEquals()

But I need Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly() to get my code to work.

Do you know how to solve this? Or maybe an alternative? Btw: I work with Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate and the trial License of Xamarin.Android/iOS

Edit: I guess it has to do sth. with Xamarin.Forms. A normal Desktop Application hast the Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly(); and it works fine, but I need it in my App :(

Edit 2: I try out this now: http://developer.xamarin.com/guides/cross-platform/xamarin-forms/working-with/files/#Loading_Files_Embedded_as_Resources

Answer 1

Do it this way:

var assembly = typeof(App).GetTypeInfo().Assembly;

Being 'App' the type of your application file.

I've done exactly what you want (reading a csv file) this way.
