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.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly(). 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?
