title: How to obtain the ASP.NET Core application name?
body: <p>I would like do display in the footer of an ASP.NET Core 1.1     </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>&copy; 2017 MyApplication</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;p&gt;&amp;copy; 2017 @(ApplicationName)&lt;/p&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How do I get the application name? </p>
  
  <p>I found <a href="http://michaco.net/blog/EnvironmentVariablesAndConfigurationInASPNETCoreApps" rel="noreferrer">an article</a> on this subject but it's confusing about <code>PlatformServices.Default.Application.ApplicationName</code>, because it says do not use <code>Microsoft.Extensions.PlatformAbstractions</code>, but does not say what to use instead for the application name...</p>
