Solution 1

Assembly assembly = Assembly.LoadFrom("MyAssembly.dll");
Version ver = assembly.GetName().Version;

Solution 2

Try something like:

C#

Assembly assembly = Assembly.LoadFrom("MyCustomAssembly.dll");
Version ver = assembly.GetName().Version;

You can also use System.Reflection.Assembly.Load() methods and then get all the information in AssemblyInfo: Assembly.Load Method[^]
