[RESOLVED] Determine an external EXE/DLL target .NET version

[chris128]

Is there any way (via code or otherwise) that you can tell what version of the .NET framework a particular EXE or DLL is targetting? I know the long way round would be to try and run it on a machine with just .NET 1.1 on, then if that doesnt work try it on a machine with 2.0 on, etc etc but just wondering if there is an easier way

Cheers
Chris

You can get it with Reflection

Imports System.Reflection
 
Namespace Reflection
    Public Class Peeker
        Public Function GetTargetFramework(ByVal Path As String) As String
            Dim asm As Assembly = Assembly.LoadFile(Path)
            Return asm.ImageRuntimeVersion
        End Function
    End Class
End Namespace
