How to retrieve version info from assembly

[Holger Persch]

Hello,

I want to display the version and other information of my app in an about dialog.

The question now is: How to retrieve this information, contained in the "AssemblyInfo.cs", from inside the running app.

Thanks in advance,
Holger

I solved it by myself. I found two ways:

1) string strVersion = Application.ProductVersion;

2) Assembly assembly = Assembly.GetCallingAssembly();
string strVersion = assembly.GetName().Version.ToString();

BTW, the Application class offers also access to additional information like ProductName and so on.

Regards,
Holger
