Application Version

[Dmyze]

Ok, this must be a dumb question but I can't find where you set the application version on my VB.NET Project.

I have tried right clicking on my project and clicking on Properties. That brings up a window called '[My project] Property Pages" Under "Common Properties" I only have 5 Options: General, Build, Imports, Reference Path, and Designer Defaults. I read one online tutorial that showed Version on this list, but I do not see it.

What am I doing wrong?

When I call a Application.ProductVersion I get 1.0.853.13092
Whe I create a System.Version object and do a oVer.ToString I get 0.0

This VB.NET Project should be ver 4.0 as 3.0 was written in VB6

I believe when you create a new project in Visual Studio, there will be an AssemblyInfo.vb xml looking file. i beleive you set that stuff in there.. One of those things I can be sure on as i dont use Microsofts IDE to write .NET apps.

Ahh.. That worked.

Now when I do Application.ProductVersion it works fine, how do I connectect the System.Version object to it? I still get version 0.0 from this:

Dim oVer As New System.Version()

'lblVer.Text = "Ver: " & Application.ProductVersion
lblVer.Text = "Ver: " & oVer.ToString

it looks like System.Version is for setting the application version in code

System.Version(major,minor,revision)


I think..I couldnt really find much explanation info on its usage over Application.ProductVersion

Ok, I see now


This is how you do it:

Dim oVer As New System.Version(Application.ProductVersion)
