Getting the publish version number using VB.NET 2008

[Peter Hentrich]

Dean,

You can retrieve the "publish version" number from the Project Settings using this:

If (System.Deployment.Application.ApplicationDeployme nt.IsNetworkDeployed) Then
Dim verDeployed As System.Version = My.Application.Deployment.CurrentVersion
End If

To display published(network deployed) or assembly version:

' test if network deployed
Dim verDeployed As System.Version
Dim strVerDeployed As String
If (System.Deployment.Application.ApplicationDeployme nt.IsNetworkDeployed) Then
verdeployed = My.Application.Deployment.CurrentVersion
strVerDeployed = verDeployed.ToString
Else ' or if command line execution
Dim asmThis As System.Reflection.Assembly = System.Reflection.Assembly.Load("CADView")
Dim asnThis As System.Reflection.AssemblyName = asmThis.GetName()
verDeployed = asnThis.Version
strVerDeployed = verDeployed.ToString
End If
Me.Text = My.Settings.CompanyName & " " & My.Settings.WindowTitle & " v." & strVerDeployed
