Getting correct version using FileVersionInfo

[Jim]

Hi. I would like to validate the version string that I
get from FileVersionInfo . Is there a way via the object
model to do this?

I am currently doing this:
FileVersionInfo fileVersionInfo =
FileVersionInfo .GetVersionInfo (filePath);

string fileVersion = fileVersionInfo .FileVersion;
Sometimes though, I get versions that look like "5.2.02.2
WestNileBuild" or others that look like "5,2,3,0"

Is there a way to format whatever result I get, to look
like one of the following formats:

1
1.1
1.1.1
1.1.1.1
Thanks

Jim

I am using this method to determine if it is a valid
version or not. Is there a cleaner way?

private bool IsVersion(ref string fileVersion)
{
// For cases of 5,5,2,2
fileVersion = fileVersion.Tri m().Replace
(",", ".");
fileVersion = fileVersion.Rep lace(" ", "");
string[] versionParts = fileVersion.Spl it('.');
bool result = true;

foreach (string versionPart in versionParts)
{
try
{
int iVersionPart = Convert.ToInt32
(versionPart);
}
catch (Exception)
{
result = false;
break;
}
}
return result;
}
