Hi,

Is there an action for reading one or more attributes from a C# 'AssemblyInfo.cs' file?&nbsp;&nbsp; I've looked, but haven't found one (did find "Update Assembly Info", which essentially does the opposite of what I need).

If there is no such action, can anyone recommend a good way to do this?

Thanks,  
-Mike

Hi Mike,

We do not currently have an action to read the value of an attribute out of a source file, though we are looking into implementing one in the future.

I have attached a demo project which shows a relatively easy way to extract this information.

Regards,Paul.
