Hi,

does anyone have any sample VB.NET code to find the
version number of an Assembly? I would like to display
the version number of the Windows form in its "About..."
dialog box. I see that there is a
System.Reflection.AssemblyInformationalVersionAttribute
class but cannot figure out how to retrieve it for an
Assembly.

Thanks in advance,
Ron

Something like Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.GetName.Version will get you to the
Version.

Try this:

Dim myFileVersionInfo As System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo =
System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo("<Your DLL Name>.dll")

Label100.Text = "VERSION: " & myFileVersionInfo.ProductVersion

Something like this:

Version v = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Version;

string s = string.Format("{0:0}.{0:00}.{0:000}.{0:0000}", v.Major, v.Minor,
v.Revision, v.Build);
