Access Version Info for Project

Question

I would like to display what version my App is in on the UI. It looks like I set that in Properties --> Application --> Assembler Information.

• Is that correct?
• Do I manually increment that upon releases?
• How do I access that programmatically?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Yes, the assembly version is set that way. To display it in the UI, you can retrieve it with:

Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Version.ToString();

Answer 2

Or in System.Windows.Forms:

Application.ProductVersion
