Application version

Where can I set the Version (Major, Minor and Private) in VB.NET

In VB6 it was in the project properties window. Where is it now ?

Thanks

Its in the AssemblyInfo.vb file:

' Version information for an assembly consists of the following four values:
'
' Major Version
' Minor Version
' Build Number
' Revision
'
' You can specify all the values or you can default the Build and Revision Numbers
' by using the '*' as shown below:

<Assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.*")>

How do a retrieve the file version number from an exe on my PC?
Can do this in VB6, but don't know the code for .NET :(

It goes like this:

Code:

---

Application.ProductVersion

---

Sorry, should have made my post clearer.

Version number from ANOTHER exe.

I have worked it out. It is:

VB Code:

Imports System.Diagnostics
 
Public Function GetFileVersion(ByVal pstrEXE As String) As String
   Dim myFileVersionInfo As FileVersionInfo = FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(pstrEXE)
   GetFileVersion = myFileVersionInfo.FileVersion
End Function

Look you stupid frog...shhhhhh.
If I don't add this imports line then:

VB Code:

Public Function GetFileVersion(ByVal pstrEXE As String) As String
   Dim myFileVersionInfo As [B]FileVersionInfo[/B] = FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(pstrEXE)
   GetFileVersion = myFileVersionInfo.FileVersion
End Function

Then FileVersionInfo is unknown and thus .NET whinges about it.
I suppose I could do:

VB Code:

Public Function GetFileVersion(ByVal pstrEXE As String) As String
   Dim myFileVersionInfo As System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo = System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(pstrEXE)
   GetFileVersion = myFileVersionInfo.FileVersion
End Function

This is in an ASP.NET web form, and not a VB.NET application. Maybe the imports for this type of .NET project are different.

Hey, I didn't say anything! I just grinned at you. An innocent smile.

Why are you feeling so guilty? :p
