I know the .NET Core replacement for Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly()
is typeof(MyType).GetTypeInfo().Assembly
, but what about the replacement for
Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetCustomAttributes(typeof(AssemblyTitleAttribute), false)
I have tried appending the last bit of the code after assembly for the first solution mentioned like so:
typeof(VersionInfo).GetTypeInfo().Assembly.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(AssemblyTitleAttribute));
but it gives me a "Can't implicitly convert to object[] message.
UPDATE:
Yes, as comments below indicate, I believe it is linked to the output type.
Here is the code snippet, and I am just trying to change it to be compatible with .Net Core:
public class VersionInfo
{
public static string AssemlyTitle
{
get
{
object[] attributes = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetCustomAttributes(typeof(AssemblyTitleAttribute), false);
// More code follows
I have tried changing this to use CustomAttributeExtensions.GetCustomAttributes(
but I don't currently understand c# enough to know how to implement the same code as above. I still get mixed up about MemberInfo and Type and the like. Any help is extremely appreciated!
I suspect that the issue is in code you have not shown: where you use the result of GetCustomAttributes()
. That's because Assembly.GetCustomAttributes(Type, bool)
in .Net Framework returns object[]
, while CustomAttributeExtensions.GetCustomAttributes(this Assembly, Type)
in .Net Core returns IEnumerable<Attribute>
.
So you need to modify your code accordingly. The simplest way would be to use .ToArray<object>()
, but a better solution might be to change your code so that it can work with IEnumerable<Attribute>
.
This works for me in .NET Core 1.0:
using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Reflection;
namespace SO_38487353
{
public class Program
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
var attributes = typeof(Program).GetTypeInfo().Assembly.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(AssemblyTitleAttribute));
var assemblyTitleAttribute = attributes.SingleOrDefault() as AssemblyTitleAttribute;
Console.WriteLine(assemblyTitleAttribute?.Title);
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}
AssemblyInfo.cs
using System.Reflection;
[assembly: AssemblyTitle("My Assembly Title")]
project.json
{
"buildOptions": {
"emitEntryPoint": true
},
"dependencies": {
"Microsoft.NETCore.App": {
"type": "platform",
"version": "1.0.0"
},
"System.Runtime": "4.1.0"
},
"frameworks": {
"netcoreapp1.0": { }
}
}
This works for me:
public static string GetAppTitle()
{
AssemblyTitleAttribute attributes = (AssemblyTitleAttribute)Attribute.GetCustomAttribute(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly(), typeof(AssemblyTitleAttribute), false);
return attributes?.Title;
}
This is what i use:
private string GetApplicationTitle => ((AssemblyTitleAttribute)Attribute.GetCustomAttribute(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly(), typeof(AssemblyTitleAttribute), false))?.Title ?? "Unknown Title";
Wouldn't this be the simplest?
string title = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetCustomAttribute<AssemblyTitleAttribute>().Title;
Just say'in.
