How to determine the version of a .dll?

[Jeff B. Jr]

I need to write a small application that can check the version of a .dll
currently installed, and the version of the same .dll on an ftp server. If
the version on the ftp server is newer, it needs to be installed on the
machine. I'm having difficulty getting the version info from the .dll's.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Jeff B.

Not sure if this is a repost, but I answered a question like this a few days
ago. See here:

Take a look at 'FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo'.
