Accessing ProductBuild at runtime

[Tim]

I would like to display version and build in the Help>About menu for my
users during the beta-testing phase. When VisualStudio publishes the
application, it knows this information, even though I have not updated
the AssemblyInfo file; it still reads

<Assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0,0,0")>

What object is the Publish wizard accessing to get this info?

Thanks
Tim

In your main executable you can do something like:

Dim v As Version = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Version

HTH,

Oh... I should also mention the whole My thing. You can also use:

My.Application.Info.Version
