Q: Version number

Hi

Can anybody help me with the following problem?

I have a vb.net application which has a setup project. In the setup I can
specify the version number of the application. I would like to display this
version number in the splash screen of the main application. Is there a way
to do this?

In a windows application you can get version number like that...

System.Reflecti on.Assembly.Get ExecutingAssemb ly().GetName(). Version()

Now, in a setup I never tested it...

Thanks everyone.

By the way, the message from Frederic doesn't seem to appear in the Outlook
Express display. I only know he replied because his response is in the other
posters message.

Anybody know why that happened?

I've been looking and looking for how to set the version numbers for my visual studio project...where the heck is it? Used to be able to do it from project properties in VB6. I found out how to read the version number, but where to set it? It's probably so obvious that I'm going to feel really dumb! Thanks in advance, Jeff

I cannot seem to get the version number of my VB app to increment properly in VS2005. When I build the app each day the "build" number increments with no problem as does the version number but if I make multiple changes to my code during the day and then build again that same day the version number will not change. I have the attribute set to "1.0.*" and the default .NET formula of versioning is fine if only it would update whenever I make...

I have been using this code to display the version number, and this has worked well, but I am now changing from using the ClickOnce publishing to a proper setup project, and this no longer works. If System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached = False Then Version.Text = "Version : " & My.Application.Deployment.CurrentVersion.ToString() Else Version.Text = "Debug Mode" End If
