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.Diagnostics
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 myFileVersionInfo =
FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo("C:\\WINNT\\Notepad .exe");

// Print the file name and version number.
Console.Writeline("File: " + myFileVersionInfo.FileDescription +
'\n' +
"Version number: " + myFileVersionInfo.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 GetFileVersionInfo
Ok, I found this link in google:

System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo has been there since v1.0 IIRC.
