How To Get Assembly Information In C#

I am sorry guys that I was not able to write articles regularly because I have some issues with my ISP so no internet. I just wanted to write something so I chose something interesting! it's about getting information about the assembly. Just create a console application in C#, import this namespace using System.Reflection; after that go to the main event and add these codes.

 Assembly assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
            AssemblyName assemblyName = assembly.GetName();
            string assembly_information = string.Format("{0}, {1}, {2}, {3}, {4}", assemblyName.Name, assemblyName.VersionCompatibility, assemblyName.ProcessorArchitecture, assemblyName.HashAlgorithm, assemblyName.Version.ToString());
            Console.WriteLine(assembly_information);
            Console.Read();

What that does is, first it defines the assembly events and then there’s a string with 5 slots to get the assembly information one by one. You can get more information such as KeyPair, FullName, EscapedCodeBase, ContentType, CultureInfo etc.

Just run the program to get the information and by the way don’t forget to add more slots to the string if you want to get more information about the assembly(I don’t know how it’s called I just call it slot).

How To Force/Prompt Your C# & VB.NET Program To Run As Administrator

If your code will target or access secured files or libraries, then your program needs Administrator Privilege. It's easy to run your program as Administrator, simply you can right click your program and select run as administrator, and in C# & VB.NET theres a XML Manifest that tells the .NET Framework to prompt the user to run the program as Administrator, we can easily configure your program to prompt the user to run the program as administrator.

How to configure your program to prompt the user to run your program as Administrator?

1 : Go to Project(in your visual studio menustrip) and select Add New Item(or simply CTRL+SHIFT+A shortcut to open Add New Item)

2 : Choose Application Manifest File and click add(actually your debug folder has a manifest file but we are adding a new one)

3 : You will find a new file in your Solution Explorer called app.manifest and you will fall into that file automatically lol, inside that file you would have some text(of course XML)

4 : Inside that file find  <requestedExecutionLevel level="asInvoker" uiAccess="false" />

5 : Replace asInvoker with requireAdministrator

6 : That's all

Now whenever you run your program, your program will prompt to run the program as Administrator.

How To Make A EICAR-Test-File In VB.NET

The EICAR Standard Anti-Virus Test File or EICAR test file is a computer file that was developed by the European Institute for Computer Antivirus Research (EICAR) and Computer Antivirus Research Organization (CARO), to test the response of computer antivirus (AV) programs. - Wikipedia

It's really easy to build a EICAR-Test-File in VB.NET because it has 68 ASCII characters which makes the file get detected as virus so what we are going to make is very simple, we are going to write those characters into a EXECUTABLE file.

The ASCII Characters X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*

Just add a button to your form or write down on any events

'Don't forget to add Imports System.IO namespace
'By Mohamed Shimran
   Dim File As Integer
        Dim Text As String
        File = FreeFile()
        Text = "X5O!P" & Chr(37) & Chr(64) & "AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}" & Chr(36) & Chr(69) & Chr(73) & "CAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!" & Chr(36) & "H+H*"
        Dim save As New SaveFileDialog
        save.Filter = "Executable Files'(*.exe)|*.exe"
        save.ShowDialog()
            Dim strwrt As New StreamWriter(save.FileName)
            strwrt.Write(Text)
            strwrt.Close()

As you can see we have a string,integer & a savefiledialog declared so it writes the ASCII chracters to the exe file using stream write.

I have saved the exe file and here my avast pops up

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.
