AssemblyName.ToString Method
.NET Framework 3.0
Returns the full name of the assembly, also known as the display name.
Namespace: System.Reflection
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
See the description of AssemblyName for the format of the returned string.
The following example gets an AssemblyName object for a hypothetical MyAssembly.exe assembly, and then uses the ToString method to retrieve the full assembly name, or display name.
using System; using System.Reflection; public class AssemblyName_GetAssemblyName { public static void Main() { // Replace the string "MyAssembly.exe" with the name of an assembly, // including a path if necessary. If you do not have another assembly // to use, you can use whatever name you give to this assembly. // AssemblyName myAssemblyName = AssemblyName.GetAssemblyName("MyAssembly.exe"); Console.WriteLine("\nDisplaying assembly information:\n"); Console.WriteLine(myAssemblyName.ToString()); } }
import System.*;
import System.Reflection.*;
import System.Text.RegularExpressions.*;
public class AssemblyNameGetAssemblyName
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Get the type of 'System.Object'.
Type myType = Object.class.ToType();
// Get the path of 'System.dll'.
String system = Regex.Replace(myType.get_Assembly().get_CodeBase(),
"mscorlib.dll", "System.dll");
system = Regex.Replace(system, "file:///", "");
// Get the assembly information and display to the console.
AssemblyName myAssemblyName = AssemblyName.GetAssemblyName(system);
Console.WriteLine("\nDisplaying the assembly information of "
+ "'System.dll'\n");
Console.WriteLine(myAssemblyName.ToString());
} //main
} //AssemblyNameGetAssemblyName
