I have the following line of code in .NET 4.5 that I am trying to build as Portable Class Library. It's purpose is to get assembly version:

this.GetType().Assembly.GetName().Version.Major;

The problem is that Assembly.GetName() is not available in PCL. Is there a way to get assembly version in PCL?

I know it is possible to parse Assembly.FullName, but I want a better solution.

.net-assembly portable-class-library system.reflection
