Comparing application version with network file?

At the beginning of program execution, I want to compare the executing
version of the program against the network copy to see if there's been an
update. In the "Properties" window of an EXE, I can see the version there,
but cannot figure out how to get the version out programmatically.

Anyone know how I can do this? Or am I better off just comparing versus
the creation date of a file or something?

That is perfect! Thanks.

Solution:

File version (not executing):
System.Diagnostics.Fileversioninfo.GetVersionInfo
(filename).ProductVersion

File version (executing):
Application.ProductVersion
Thanks for the help.
