how to tell application version after i installed it at client side?
i did make the version and product code while doing the packaging and deployment.
Thanks a lot.
 
Joanne

You mean something as this?

\\\
MessageBox.Show( _
System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly( _
).GetName().Version.ToString())
'or
MessageBox.Show( _
System.Windows.Forms.Application.ProductVersion.ToString())
///

I hope this helps a little bit?
 
Sorry, Cor. I didn't make it clear. I don't wanna write any code to show the version.
I hope to see the version from the exe file in window explore or something like that.
Thanks for your response.
 
MessageBox.Show(

System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly( ).GetName().Version.ToStrin
g())

Ammend your AssemblyInfo.vb file , its in there, once you put the
information in when you hover over the dll or executable, it will pop up

You can change the version in your "AssemblyInfo.vb" file:

\\\
<Assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.*")>
///

My FAQ:

Basic information on versioning:

<URL:http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dndotnet/html/managevers.asp>
<URL:http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnbda/html/tdlg_ch5.asp>
<URL:http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/cptutorials/html/versioning_components.asp>

Parts of the version number:

Main version
"Product" version.

Sub version
Sub version, for example Service Pack.

Build
During development, auto-increment.

Revision
Hotfix or Quick Fix Engineering (QFE).

When using auto incrementation of numbers, the build number contains the
number of days since January, 2000; the revision contains the number of
seconds since midnight divided by 2.

The version number can be changed in the file "AssemblyInfo.vb". The
version number will updated automatically when re-opening the solution.

Getting the program version number:

\\\
MsgBox( _
System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly( _
).GetName().Version.ToString() _
)
///

- or -

\\\
MsgBox( _
System.Windows.Forms.Application.ProductVersion.ToString() _
)
///

Hi Terry,

Do you think that answer from Herfried answer this reply from the OP on the
Original Message which came 2 and a half hour before Herfrieds answer and
which you answered in my opinion correct so I did not answer it anymore?
Sorry, Cor. I didn't make it clear. I don't wanna write any code to show the version.
I hope to see the version from the exe file in window explore or something like that.
Thanks for your response.

I do not see how I have to use that for this, do you know that, maybe
Herfried can tell that, or am I to stuppid to see it?

Cor
 
I dont know, basically if she hovers the cursor in explorer over the DLL or
EXE file, it will give these properites to her ( some of them ) and if you
right click and choose properties and the Version Tab you get even more.

I just get a little frustrated with the the duplication.
