Assembly Info

If you're a developer looking to find out information about a certain application or file, its metadata as we're more used to calling this, then one good choice in terms of programs that can help could be Assembly Info. This app will help any individual unearth metadata info, being thorough and specific in what it displays. Its suggestive name reflects the fact that it doesn't have any change power. It only displays the already existing info in those files.

The application will be most useful when analyzing EXE or DLL files. It makes sense because the analyzed metadata will be understood by developers and this sort of computer-tied individuals. Regardless, image formats such as PNG, JPG, GIF, and so on can be read just as well. The same goes for MP4, MOV, AVI, etc. files. The information you unearth will have to do with app versions, checksums, dates of creation, and so on. The app will also be added to the right-click context menu for easier deployment.

The program has such a simple interface, that you'd actually mistake it for a Windows-implemented app. There's nothing to distinguish it from other OS apps, except for the name written on the window's left corner. Information will be displayed depending on what the file itself contains. Categories to have info displayed upon deployment include: name, description, company, version, copyright, framework, builds, languages, and many other related elements.

Assembly Info is an applicationcreated to help individuals gain the information they are looking to use in any developed project. It can't alter that info, and it won't display anything that hasn't been included in the file. It's a simple bridge between file metadata and your desktop screen, showing you information that would otherwise be very difficult to find.
