Chris,

Assuming your executable is the entry point for the application, you can
easily get the assembly, then the version, like this:

// Get the entry point.
Assembly entryPoint = Assembly.GetEntryAssembly();

// Get the name of the assembly.
AssemblyName entryPointName = entryPoint.GetName();

// Get the version.
Version entryPointVersion = entryPointName.Version;

Then you can do what you wish with the version.

Hope this helps.
