Overview

The module provides functionality for getting information about the app.

Information About the Current App

To get information about the current app, use AppInformation.Current property:

using Gapotchenko.FX.AppModel.Information;
using System;

var info = AppInformation.Current;

Console.WriteLine("Product: {0}", info.ProductName);
Console.WriteLine("Version: {0}", info.ProductVersion);
Console.WriteLine("Company: {0}", info.CompanyName);
Console.WriteLine("Copyright: {0}", info.Copyright);

This can be useful for purposes like showing an about box in GUI or a copyright banner in console.

Information About Another Part of the App

Sometimes a program consists of several parts, each of which has its own associated product information.

To get information about a specific part of the program other than the main app, use AppInformation.For(Type) method:

using Gapotchenko.FX.AppModel.Information;
using System;

var info = AppInformation.For(typeof(object));

Console.WriteLine("Product: {0}", info.ProductName);
Console.WriteLine("Version: {0}", info.ProductVersion);
Console.WriteLine("Company: {0}", info.CompanyName);
Console.WriteLine("Copyright: {0}", info.Copyright);

Note that the example above gets information for System.Object type which belongs to .NET BCL (Base Class Library), another part of the program. The retrieved information about that part looks like so:

Product: Microsoft® .NET
Version: 8.0.824.36612
Company: Microsoft Corporation
Copyright: © Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

You can use this functionality to retrieve information about any other part of the program. It can be a plugin, a library, and so on.

There also exists AppInformation.For(Assembly) overload of the For method. That method overload retrieves information about a specific assembly. It is useful for situations when you have no specific System.Type at hand to retrieve the information for, but only a System.Assembly.

Note that it is preferable to use AppInformation.For(Type) method because it is slightly more precise than AppInformation.For(Assembly).
