Build number

[Greg Smith]

Is there a way to read the build number when you compile?

I would like to display the build number on the "About" screen.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

you can get the assembly version number, as part of the assembly name
using:

string s = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly(). FullName;

which gives:

Test1, Version=1.0.2281.26155, Culture=neutral, PubliKeyToken=null

that any use?

in fact replace the .FullName with .GetName().Version.ToString() and it
extracts the version number for you.
