Version take

Hi,

I have a win form application and the deployment (setup files) is in a
shared directory in a LAN. I want every time the app starts to check
if the version of the app is the same as the version of the deployment.
I can take the version of the current app but how to take the version
from the deployment?

Or any others ideas?

Thanks.

Consider using ClickOnce deployment, this technology solves all such
problems plus much more.
Works only under .NET 2.0.

Iwan,

See System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo

if (openFileDialog1.ShowDialog(this) == DialogResult.OK)
{
System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo fvi =
System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo( openFileDialog1.FileName);
MessageBox.Show(this, fvi.FileVersion);
}
