Determine software version

[Eric H]

How do I programatically determine the version of executables on Mobile 5 and
6 devices from a seperate executable?

I'm running an app on mobile 5 and I want that app to determine the version
of other excutables that are sitting on the same PDA.

Thanks!

Eric

Managed or Native executables?

Pretty simple then. Load the assembly via reflection (e.g.
Assembly.LoadFrom) and then use the returned Assembly instance to get the
version information (by calling GetName().Version).

Keep in mind that that will load the assembly into memory for the entire life
of the process. There is no way to unload it.

Hi Bryan,
Yes and that was highly expected in CF 3.5 also ApplicationDomain.
