Access Version Info for Project

Question

I would like to display what version my App is in on the UI. It looks like I set that in Properties --> Application --> Assembler Information.

Is that correct?
Do I manually increment that upon releases?
How do I access that programmatically?

Thanks!

Yes, the assembly version is set that way. To display it in the UI, you can retrieve it with:

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

For an example of how to read more info, simply add the standard AboutBox to a (dummy) project, and look at the source. Some of those elements are more readily available as Application properties though.

standard AboutBox? Is that a ToolBox component? – Refracted Paladin Apr 02 '09 at 21:03
No, an Item Template. Select Project, Add New item, Widows Forms section – H H Apr 02 '09 at 21:45
