I need to access the version of a file from within my C#
app. Does anyone know how to do this?

You should be able to use the FileVersionInfo clas

[C#]
public void GetFileVersion()
// Get the file version for the notepad
FileVersionInfo myFileVersionInfo = FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo("C:\\WINNT\\Notepad.exe")

// Print the file name and version number
textBox1.Text = "File: " + myFileVersionInfo.FileDescription + '\n'
"Version number: " + myFileVersionInfo.FileVersion

thank you

I had found a way to do it but this way was easier.
