Version info 1

[erithracus]

Hello all,

Is it possible to have the version info of an application which is found in AssemblyInfo.cs. printed on the screen. I.o.w. is it possible to retrieve Version info from AssemblyInfo.cs at runtime?

TIA

Jan

Yes, you use the LoadFrom method of the Assembly object:

ms-help://MS.VSCC/MS.MSDNVS/cpref/html/frlrfSystemReflectionAssemblyClassLoadFromTopic.htm

Once you have an Assembly object, call the GetName method, which returns an AssemblyName object. This object has a Version property which returns a Version object. The Version object has major, minor, etc. properties.
