.NET Forum / Languages / C# / October 2007Version information from EXEs, DLLs, etc?
Is there a nice set of .NET functions built into the framework to retrieve file version information embedded in EXEs, DLLs, etc? I'm talking about the strings such as Company, File Version, Copyright, Product Name, and so on...which you normally see in the Version tab of an EXE's Properties dialog box. I used to do this with Win32's GetFileVersionInfo() C API. >Is there a nice set of .NET functions built into the framework to retrieve >file version information embedded in EXEs, DLLs, etc?
