Hello,

The properties of the File Object should allow you to do this (System.IO).
Unfortunalty i am not in front of my own computer at hte moment so i cant
give an example.

Hi,

Use the FileVersionInfo class. It is located in the System.Diagnost ics
namespace. It's static method GetVersionInfo can be used to elicit this
information.

eg. of use :
------------------------------------
public void GetFileVersion( ) {
// Get the file version for the notepad.
FileVersionInfo myFileVersionIn fo =
FileVersionInfo .GetVersionInfo ("C:\\WINNT\\No tepad.exe");

// Print the file name and version number.
Console.Writeli ne("File: " + myFileVersionIn fo.FileDescript ion +
'\n' +
"Version number: " + myFileVersionIn fo.FileVersion) ;
}
------------------------------------

Hi,
This feature is not implemented in the framework (at least in 1.1) , you
will have to P/invoke
go to pinvoke.net and search for GetFileVersionI nfo
Ok, I found this link in google:

System.Diagnost ics.FileVersion Info has been there since v1.0 IIRC.
