dll and exe file version

[ushtabalakh]

Hey

Dll and exe files have a version that could be found by looking at the properties of these file in windows explorer

I need to know how I can retrieve that information from vb.net

Any related windows command would also be very useful

Dim File1 as FileInfo()
Dim File2 as FileInfo()

File1 = FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(PathAndName) 'Where PathAndName equals the path and file name of the file you wish to check.  i.e.. C:\mydir\test.dll

File2 = FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(PathAndName2)

Then to check that info you use commands like:

File1.FileVersion.ProductMajorPart
File1.FileVersion.ProductMinorPart
File1.FileVersion.ProductBuildPart

So on and so forth.
