Hey Matt, Good Stuff Here.  I was able to use most of this for a Silverlight class which does the same thing for a xap file.  Can't do all the same stuff in SL as it will throw security exceptions trying to get the name of the assembly.  But for an example of how to workaround that, I have included here the code that I am using for getting the AssemblyVersion

Public Shared Function AssemblyVersion() As String

Dim assembly As Assembly

Dim strFullName As String

Dim strFullNameElements() As String

Dim strVersionElements() As String

Dim strReturn As String = String.Empty

assembly = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly()

strFullName = assembly.FullName()

strFullNameElements = strFullName.Split(",")

If strFullNameElements.Length > 1 Then

strVersionElements = strFullNameElements(1).Split("=")

If strVersionElements.Length > 1 Then

strReturn = "Build: " & strVersionElements(1)

End If

End If

Return strReturn

End Function

Thanks a lot for the code. very useful indeed!!

It's better to have GetCallingAssembly() instead of GetExecutingAssembly(), cause it raises usability in other classes.
