That won't work with a dll though. You can use this for Dll's and Exe's:

'Create the assembly object
            Dim objAssembly As System.Reflection.Assembly = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly()
 
            'Get each part of the version through the assembly object
            Return objAssembly.GetName().Version.Major & "." & objAssembly.GetName().Version.Minor & "." & _
                objAssembly.GetName().Version.Build & "." & objAssembly.GetName().Version.Revision
