Hi,
How do I set the application productversion. I can see in the publish
section where I can set it, but no matter what I set this to, the
productversion is different

Thanks

With
System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.Location)
m_ver = .FileMajorPart & "." & .FileMinorPart & "." & .FileBuildPart &
"." & .FilePrivatePart
lblVersion.Text = m_ver
End With

Hi Aussie,

ProductVersion first looks to see if the assembly containing the main
executable has the AssemblyInformationalVersion attribute on it. If this
attribute exists, it is used for both ProductVersion and CommonAppDataPath.
If this attribute does not exist, both properties use the version of the
executable file instead.

So, in your project, open the AssemblyInfo.cs file. In this file, I added a
line like this

[assembly: AssemblyInformationalVersion("4.0.0.0")]

The product version will be set to 4.0.0.0.

For more information, please check the following link:

In solution explorer select "My Project" -> "Application" -> "Assembly
information...".
