I've seen this question asked many dozens of times, yet I cannot find a consensus answer (or any answer that works for me).

My application is run both with and without using ClickOnce, depending on the scenario in which it is deployed. Here is the problem:

Major ...... got it.
Minor ...... got it.
Build ...... got it.
Revision ... always ZERO! <-- I want that number.

All of these things:

new Version(Application.ProductVersion).ToString()

Application.ProductVersion

Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Version.ToString()

FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().
Location).ProductVersion

Yield the same thing:

1.2.6.0

Which should be 1.2.6.27.

The revision is being incremented every time the application is published. So, how do I programmatically access that number? Why is this so difficult?

Thanks,

David

To help you get answers, you really should show the code you tried so far. This allows people to spot obvious errors or to exclude them from their answers. – Daniel Hilgarth Mar 30 '15 at 18:39
I edited original question. Thanks. – David.Woosley Mar 30 '15 at 22:33
Are you sure the revision number is actually 27? If so, can you show us were you see it? – Daniel Hilgarth Mar 31 '15 at 05:32
Daniel, I see the 27 on: Solution --> Properties --> Publish --> Publish Version in the text box directly below 'Revision'. – David.Woosley Apr 02 '15 at 16:43
