I hate to bother you again, but being an upgrader from vb6 to this language, I am having some difficulty.

In my about box, I have a label (lblVersion) that displays the version number.
I tried this:
lblVersion.Text = "Version " & Environment.Version, but it caused an error. How should I do it properly?

Thanks in advance.
 
On a related note. To get the "version" of your app (as opposed to just the
CLR):

lblBuild.Text = "Build " &
System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Version().ToString

This can be a real bugger to figure out when moving from vb6. :)

PS: always use Option Strict On and it was save you much grief.

Hi Jay,

Most of the good books assume that you are familiar with vb.

Among the better books:
Balena, MS Press, Programming Visual Basic .Net
Troelson, Apress, vb .net and the .net platform
For database programming - Sceppa, ADO .Net, MS Press

HTH,
Bernie Yaeger

P.S. Does anyone know any good books for very experienced vb6 programmers

that need to adapt to .NET? I don't want to learn vb.net from the ground up,
since I am already pretty skilled with vb6 (well, I hope that vb6 experience
will help).

Try 'Application.ProductVersion.ToString()'.
