Is there a nice set of .NET functions built into the framework to retrieve
file version information embedded in EXEs, DLLs, etc? I'm talking about the
strings such as Company, File Version, Copyright, Product Name, and so
on...which you normally see in the Version tab of an EXE's Properties dialog
box.

I used to do this with Win32's GetFileVersionInfo() C API.

Yes, look at the FileVersionInfo class.

You can use the FileVersionInfo class in the System.Diagnostics
namespace.
