How to determine the version of a .dll?

I need to write a small application that can check the version of a .dll
currently installed, and the version of the same .dll on an ftp server. If
the version on the ftp server is newer, it needs to be installed on the
machine. I'm having difficulty getting the version info from the .dll's.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Jeff B.

Take a look at 'FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo'.

Asynchronous Methods of communication do not require you to be online or
connected at the same time as the other you are communicating with for
example as with voice mail, email or written letters.

In the online world email, lists, conferences and newsgroups are examples of
such a method of communication.
