Assembly Version Number

[Bananafish]

In vb6, I could use "App" for displaying the Assembly version number, ie

Me.Caption = Me.Caption & " [V" & App.Major & "." & App.Minor & "." & App.Revision & "]"

Is there a similar way of doing it in .Net? I notice there is a system.version class - but have so far only found it used in the system.Environment namespace (and it isn't the assembly version number).

There best I have found so far is.

Private Function GetAssemblyVersion() As String
      '* Get the Assembly Version of current object *
      Dim strElements() As String
      Dim strName As String
 
      strName = System.Reflection.GetExecutingAssembly.FullName()
      strElements = strName.Split(CType(",", Char))
 
      Return strElements(1)
  End Function

But I kind of expected it to be more readably available...
