How can I capture the Package Version of a Dot Net Core assembly in startup code?

I know that all Dot Net Core projects get marked with a package version tag that appears in the CSProj file, like this:

<PropertyGroup>
<TargetFramework>netcoreapp2.0</TargetFramework>
<StartupObject>MY.Program</StartupObject>
<TypeScriptToolsVersion>2.5</TypeScriptToolsVersion>
<AssemblyName>MY.PCA</AssemblyName>
<AutoGenerateBindingRedirects>true</AutoGenerateBindingRedirects>
<Version>1.2.0</Version>
</PropertyGroup>

Is there a way to get access to that Version number field at Runtime? Namely in the Startup routines found in Startup.cs?

Add Microsoft.Extensions.PlatformAbstractions package as dependency and then use ApplicationEnvironment.ApplicationVersion property to get the version:

// using using Microsoft.Extensions.PlatformAbstractions;

ApplicationEnvironment app = PlatformServices.Default.Application;
string version = app.ApplicationVersion;
