file version info

[healy]

Does anyone know a quick and easy way, without adding any new dependencies, to get the version of a specific file? Thanks.

If it's your application it's easy:
app.Major
app.Minor
app.Revision

append them in that order with periods and you get
4.30.32
in the properties dialog when you right click on a file in explorer it would look like this:
4.30.0032

If you want the version of some other app you'll need to do a couple api calls, which I don't know off hand. I'll post them in a few if someone else doesn't.

WOW, it has more than just a couple api calls and it's too big to paste here but here's the link

It has a copy and paste example you can just put in your code.
