Use Assembly.FullName.Version.
 
Dear Jon,

I did not understand what you wrote to me.

Can you be more accurate in your response please....

I don't think that your code will work correctly in .net framework neither
in .net compact framework.
 
This should do it:-

add:-

Imports System.Reflection

to the top of your code file, then:-

Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Version.ToString()

This will get you the version of the assembly in which this code is placed.
If you want to get the version of another assembly used in your program look
at the Assembly.Load() method. All of this functionality can be found in the
System.Reflection namespace.

You can use Reflection to do this:

string Version =
System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Version.ToString
();
