Get the Windows Phone 7 Application Title from Code

Question

I want to access the Title value that is stored in the WMAppManifest.xml file from my ViewModel code. This is the same application title that is set through the project prop

Answer 1

This last answer seems overly complicated to me ; you could have simply done something like:

                string name = "";
                var executingAssembly = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
                var customAttributes = executingAssembly.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(System.Reflection.AssemblyTitleAttribute), false);
                if (customAttributes != null)
                {
                    var assemblyName = customAttributes[0] as System.Reflection.AssemblyTitleAttribute;
                    name = assemblyName.Title;
                }
