Is there a better way in .NET to get my applications File Version
information than calling GetFileVersionInfo().

I am using VS2005, C++.

Thanks

If you want the version information of .NET assemblies, you can easily
query them from metadata - see this Code Project article for a nice
summary: http://www.codeproject.com/cs/files/VersionApp.asp

If you're talking about arbitrary DLLs, I believe the API call is the only
general purpose method to do this.
