dynamically check version of exe file in FTP - VB.Net

[remya1000]

to find version of an exe, i use this code

Dim FileProperties As FileVersionInfo = FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(Application.ExecutablePath)
Textbox1.Text = FileProperties.FileVersion
 

How come we find a version of an exe that's uploaded in FTP? i need the version of an exe that's already there in FTP. i know the path where the exe file is saved in FTP.

if you have any idea, please help me...

Thanks in advance...

For as far as I know, you can check the FileInfo for the file on the FTP. Make a connection to the FTP, navigate to the file and create a new FileInfo. Then, you can check the FileVersion.

Mind you, I never tried this, so I might be completely wrong. Just let me know what happens.

the exe name is getting too big. so instead of adding the version number in exe name, i will create a text file in that folder that contains verison number. so i can check this .txt file name to get version number.

for example: the text file name is going to be Ver.1.0.0.34.txt. 1.0.0.34 is version number, that keeps on change.

is there a way i can check the file that starts with "Ver" and ends with ".txt". so i can find the version number.

how come i check the file name from FTP?

if you have any idea, please let me know.

Thanks in advance...

That's not what I said, but I won't bother you if it's working this way ;-)
