Hello,

I am using VS2005 and the publish feature.

Is there any way I get the version number from within my application?
i.e. I have a splash screen and would like to display the latest
version number.

Ta in advance

Hi
If you would like to get your application version use this code:

My.Application.Info.Version

Hope this helps.

Thanks but I did try this before but it returns a version number of
1.0.2133.26735 (version of the .exe file installed) whereas I published
the application using version 3.0.1.x

What I am trying to get is the 3.0.1.x version number returned.

Thanks in advance

Try
pvversion = "Publish Version: " &
My.Application.Deployment.CurrentVersion.ToString

Thats the job! Thanks very much.

For anyone else reading this you will also need to take into account
the following.

Will fall over during running debug mode so use the following to get
round this.

If System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached = False Then
            lb_version.Text = "Version : " &
My.Application.Deployment.CurrentVersion.ToString
        Else
            lb_version.Text = "Debug Mode"
        End If

Cheers
Barry
