Visual Studio C# App Version in .NET CORE 6 (used to do in in .Net Framework 4.6.2)-CodePudding

I have searched every Google search combinations I know, and I have tried multiple ways to accomplish the following:

In .Net Framework 4.6.2, I could use:

       ApplicationDeployment currentAppDeploy = ApplicationDeployment.CurrentDeployment;

       string version = "v"   currentAppDeploy.CurrentVersion.Major   "."  
            currentAppDeploy.CurrentVersion.Minor   "."  
            currentAppDeploy.CurrentVersion.Revision;

       return version;

How can I get the version from Visual studio of a .NET CORE 6 app?

We can define the version numbers for AssemblyVersion, FileVersion and Version in the project file (.csproj).

 <PropertyGroup>
    <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
    <TargetFramework>net6.0</TargetFramework>
    <AssemblyVersion>1.1.1</AssemblyVersion>
    <FileVersion>2.2.2</FileVersion>
    <Version>3.3.3-xyz</Version>
    <ImplicitUsings>enable</ImplicitUsings>
    <Nullable>enable</Nullable>
  </PropertyGroup>

AssemblyVersion
1. GetType().Assembly.GetName().Version.ToString()
2. Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().GetName().Version

Both two methods will return 1.1.1

FileVersion

Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().GetCustomAttribute<AssemblyFileVersionAttribute>().Version
It will return 2.2.2

Version

Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().GetCustomAttribute<AssemblyInformationalVersionAttribute>().InformationalVersion
It will return 3.3.3





using System;
using System.Reflection;

    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
       
            Console.WriteLine($"Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().GetName().Version: "  
                              $"{Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().GetName().Version}");

            Console.WriteLine($"Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().GetCustomAttribute<AssemblyFileVersionAttribute>().Version:"  
                              $"{Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().GetCustomAttribute<AssemblyFileVersionAttribute>().Version}");

            Console.WriteLine($"Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().GetCustomAttribute<AssemblyInformationalVersionAttribute>().InformationalVersion:"  
                              $"{Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().GetCustomAttribute<AssemblyInformationalVersionAttribute> ().InformationalVersion}");

            Console.ReadKey();
        }
    }

So far, this cannot be done in .NET 6, but there is a ussue on github where this revision is discussed and the developers promise to release it together with support.NET8
