  Go to the properties of your solution, there you will find on the first tab a button that brings you to a window with all the info from the AssemblyInfo file.

  From the aboutbox template in 2005:
  

  public string AssemblyTitle         {             get             {                 // Get all Title attributes on this assembly                 object[] attributes = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetCustomAttributes(typeof(AssemblyTitleAttribute), false);                 // If there is at least one Title attribute                 if (attributes.Length > 0)                 {                     // Select the first one                     AssemblyTitleAttribute titleAttribute = (AssemblyTitleAttribute)attributes[0];                     // If it is not an empty string, return it                     if (titleAttribute.Title != "")                         return titleAttribute.Title;                 }                 // If there was no Title attribute, or if the Title attribute was the empty string, return the .exe name                 return System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().CodeBase);             }         }         public string AssemblyVersion         {             get             {                 return Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Version.ToString();             }         }         public string AssemblyDescription         {             get             {                 // Get all Description attributes on this assembly                 object[] attributes = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetCustomAttributes(typeof(AssemblyDescriptionAttribute), false);                 // If there aren't any Description attributes, return an empty string                 if (attributes.Length == 0)                     return "";                 // If there is a Description attribute, return its value                 return ((AssemblyDescriptionAttribute)attributes[0]).Description;             }         }         public string AssemblyProduct         {             get             {                 // Get all Product attributes on this assembly                 object[] attributes = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetCustomAttributes(typeof(AssemblyProductAttribute), false);                 // If there aren't any Product attributes, return an empty string                 if (attributes.Length == 0)                     return "";                 // If there is a Product attribute, return its value                 return ((AssemblyProductAttribute)attributes[0]).Product;             }         }         public string AssemblyCopyright         {             get             {                 // Get all Copyright attributes on this assembly                 object[] attributes = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetCustomAttributes(typeof(AssemblyCopyrightAttribute), false);                 // If there aren't any Copyright attributes, return an empty string                 if (attributes.Length == 0)                     return "";                 // If there is a Copyright attribute, return its value                 return ((AssemblyCopyrightAttribute)attributes[0]).Copyright;             }         }         public string AssemblyCompany         {             get             {                 // Get all Company attributes on this assembly                 object[] attributes = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetCustomAttributes(typeof(AssemblyCompanyAttribute), false);                 // If there aren't any Company attributes, return an empty string                 if (attributes.Length == 0)                     return "";                 // If there is a Company attribute, return its value                 return ((AssemblyCompanyAttribute)attributes[0]).Company;             }         }

  
  or in a form:
  

  this.ProductVersion; this.ProductName;

  I have a windows c# sharp application and I want to read the values in the Assembly like:
  [assembly: AssemblyDescription("")]
  [assembly: AssemblyConfiguration("")]
  [assembly: AssemblyCopyright("Copyright c  2005 in asbly")]
  [assembly: AssemblyTrademark("")]
  [assembly: AssemblyCulture("")]
  
  in 2003 this was very cumbersome.
  in 05 vb this is very easy using the My namespace.
  
  I was wondering how it is done in 05.  A simpler better way perhaps.
