Hi

Is there a way to get the version number of my vb.net app, that is provided
by vs?

Thanks

Regards

Hi John,

There's a fair old choice with this one. Have a play with these:

Dim S As String

S = S & vbCrLf & Application.Pro ductVersion

S = S & vbCrLf & System.Diagnost ics.FileVersion Info. _
GetVersionInfo( Application.Exe cutablePath).Pr oductVersion

S = S & vbCrLf & System.Reflecti on.Assembly. _
GetExecutingAss embly().GetName ().Version.ToSt ring

S = S & vbCrLf & System.Reflecti on. _
Assembly.GetExe cutingAssembly( ).GetName().Ver sion.ToString

MsgBox (S)

Regards,
Fergus

'System.Reflect ion.Assembly.Ge tExecutingAssem bly().GetName() .Version' or
'Application.Pr oductVersion'.

Thanks. The version number remains the same however. How or when is the
version number supposed to change?

Basic information on versioning:

<http://msdn.microsoft. com/library/en-us/dndotnet/html/managevers.asp>
<http://msdn.microsoft. com/library/en-us/dnbda/html/tdlg_ch5.asp>
<http://msdn.microsoft. com/library/en-us/cptutorials/html/versioning_comp onents.asp>

Parts of the version number:

Main version
"Product" version.
Sub version
Sub version, for example Service Pack.
Build
During development, auto-increment.
Revision
Hotfix or Quick Fix Engineering (QFE).

When using auto incrementation of numbers, the build number contains the
number of days since January, 2000; the revision contains the number of
seconds since midnight divided by 2.

The version number can be changed in the file "AssemblyInfo.v b". The
version number will change automatically when re-opening the solution.
