[RESOLVED] Application Version Displaying Incorrectly.

[smilbuta]

Hello Community..

I am trying to display the version of my application programaticaly rather than just typing in a label.

I have inserted this code to my form.

Label4.Text = My.Application.Info.Version.ToString()

In my application my Version is 1.0.2 , it is the Property "version" in my Setup project. The format for this according to VB is ##.##.####

My Label displays 1.0.0.0 when i execute .. what am i missing?

The premade splashscreen template uses this code to show the version, try it and see if it makes any difference.

System.String.Format(Version.Text, My.Application.Info.Version.Major, My.Application.Info.Version.Minor)

Hello thanx , i get an underline error saying Version.text is not a member of System.version??

Im using Visual Basic .Net. 2005, and this is a console application im working in.

Ah yes sorry, forgot that one. Version is just a label, with the text "Version {0}.{1:00}"

Dim strVersion as String = "Version {0}.{1:00}"
System.String.Format(strVersion, My.Application.Info.Version.Major, My.Application.Info.Version.Minor)

NEgative. i tried a ad hoc way to see what it was pulling..

VersionString = (My.Application.Info.Version.Major)
VersionString2 = (My.Application.Info.Version.Minor)... Ect Revision and Build statments..

and the resulting values were as before: 1,0,0,0

Ok my appologies for not understanding fully why im having this issue
,this is how i enterd the code... it executed but the result was unexpected.

        Dim strVersion As String = "Version {0}.{1:00}"
        System.String.Format(strVersion, My.Application.Info.Version.Major, My.Application.Info.Version.Minor)
        Label4.Text = strVersion

on my form the result was : Version {0}.{1:00}.

AM i looking in the wrong area for my version number???

As i said im lokking at my setup project propertys under the version number where only 3 digits are shown. X.X.X

yet under the main project propertys there is a version spot that has 4 distinct fields for major, minor, revision and build.

oh damn it..my apologies yet again. I missed some code

Dim strVersion As String = "Version {0}.{1:00}"
        strVersion = System.String.Format(strVersion, My.Application.Info.Version.Major, My.Application.Info.Version.Minor)
        Label4.Text = strVersion

..thats what happens when you try to do too much at once

lol

Ok it works but the version it pulls is not what I have entered.

It Displays. 1.00 as it should, but my version number is 1.0.2...

I have a sneaky suspicion im not looking in the right spot to set my version.

Where does one make changes to their Version number in projects...?

Resolved.. this isssue was a chair to keyboard interface issue!...

Under project propertys application tab/ Assembly information button... bingo..

Assembly version and File verson input fields.... DOH!..
