How can I get my Windows 8 app name from properties programmatically?

I need to get Windows 8 app name to a variable, but I can't find a way to do this.

I want to get Title ("TEMEL UYGULAMA") from Application Properties, as shown in this screenshot: http://prntscr.com/psd6w

Or if anyone knows anyway to get application name or title, I can use it. I just need to get app name or title (inside the assembly)

Thanks for your help.

I use some code like this to get the Title attribute of my Windows Store App assembly:

First, you need these assemblies:

using System.Reflection;
using System.Linq;

...and then code like this should work (with more checks maybe):

// Get the assembly with Reflection:
Assembly assembly = typeof(App).GetTypeInfo().Assembly;

// Get the custom attribute informations:
var titleAttribute = assembly.CustomAttributes.Where(ca => ca.AttributeType == typeof(AssemblyTitleAttribute)).FirstOrDefault();

// Now get the string value contained in the constructor:
return titleAttribute.ConstructorArguments[0].Value.ToString();

Hope this helps...

From your screenshot, it seems you want the assembly title. You can get the assembly title attribute at runtime by doing something like this:

// Get current assembly
var thisAssembly = this.GetType().Assembly;

// Get title attribute (on .NET 4)
var titleAttribute = thisAssembly
        .GetCustomAttributes(typeof(AssemblyTitleAttribute), false)
        .Cast<AssemblyTitleAttribute>()
        .FirstOrDefault();

// Get title attribute (on .NET 4.5)
var titleAttribute = thisAssembly.GetCustomAttribute<AssemblyTitleAttribute>();

if (titleAttribute != null)
{
    var title = titleAttribute.Title;
    // Do something with title...
}

But remember, this is not the application name, this is the assembly title.
