Is there metadata/manifest for the Project Name of an Assembly?
Does an Assembly have a manifest/metadata that tells the title of the project that it came from I tried to look at the assemblyinfo.cs of one of the project that isn't mine and the only lead that I have is the:

I actually do not need it at runtime. It just so happened that I am a build administrator and it is sometimes painstaking to trace where one assembly came from. Especially when all assemblies of multiple projects are thrown to a single directory. I taught it would help me a lot if I'll be able to know from what project an assembly came from.
I tried creating an app that would list all the projects in a certain folder and then list the corresponding assemblies that the projects creates. However, this takes a lot of time if there are a lot of projects in that folder. I taught that a metadata in the assembly containing the project name would be better. Thanks for the reply anyway.

No there's no such metadata. You don't need Visual Studio to build assemblies so there may not even be a project.
I'm curious why you need the project name at runtime

How did you implement that Opening a project file and finding the output assembly name shouldn't have to take very long.
I would certainly expect it to be faster than to load the assembly with reflection and look for attributes.
