Read "Product Version" from executeable files

1 New Member
In Window Explorer, we can right-click an exe file and get its "Product Version" from the "Version" tag.

I wonder whether we can read it from a VB.Net program?

I am using the xml serializer to serialize the objects out of a collection into a file. The object that is being serialized is a class in my application. When I serialize my class it produces the following line. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?> for each instance of my serialized class. Thus giving me the following output.

I have a couple of instances where using "Auto" did not work so I tried the "A" version of the DLL and it works. Tried the "W" version and it doesn't. Anyone have any idea why that might happen? It is true that with XP Auto uses the "W" version is it not?

Not sure exactly what my question is or what forum to ask on. I know how to get version info from a particular file. e.g. FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(filePath) What I'd like to do is get version info for Microsoft "components" such as MDAC, DAO, MFC Runtime, etc. An "overall" level rather than specific file version. For example .NET - 1.0 or 2.0, MDAC 2.5 or 2.7, etc. Any way? Or better forum?

I'd like to change the "Product name" property on a (Win32) DLL - AFTER it's been built. Basically, I have a post-processing tool that modifies the DLL in a way that can't easily be detected. I want to tag files that have been modfied in this way so that we can right-click on them later and know that they've been modified. How could I write a little app that I could run in a build script to do this?
