get version number of a file

[swetham]

The path of the exe file is c:\newfolder\abc.exe. If i right click on the file,go to properties->version , in that assembly version number will be coming. I want that version from vb.net code.

Can anyone please help me?

Try this:


Dim sFileName As String = ("C:\Path\To\File\filename.ext")
'note - use the actual path and filename

Dim fvInfo As FileVersionInfo

fvInfo = FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(sFileName)

MsgBox(fvInfo.FileVersion)


FileVersionInfo is in the System.Diagnostics namespace.

Thanks for the reply, by using the above code i am getting the file version number. I got the assembly version number by using this code,

Imports System.Reflection
Dim asm As Assembly
asm = Assembly.LoadFrom(DPath & "\Lusail Task Sheet.exe")
file_assembly_version = asm.GetName().Version.ToString
