Obtain assembly version numbers

J

Juan

Hi:

How can obtain assembly version numbers?
I can obtain it from System.Reflection.AssembyName, but, how can obtain this
class without
using an absolute path to the assembly?
is there another way to obtain those numbers?

Thanks
Juan

If you want the version of the assembly you are currently in you can use

System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Version

Or if you have this code in a dll and want to get the version of the exe or
dll which is calling into it use

System.Reflection.Assembly.GetCallingAssembly().GetName().Version
