Assembly version number

[Landley]

Hello All,

I am writing a windows service and wish to retrieve the version number of
the assembly. In a windows application, there is the Application class that
contains this information. Is there a similar method in windows services?

Assembly.GetName().Version. You can get the Assembly reference with
typeof(SomeClassInTheAssembly).Assembly or
Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().

You might want to define the version of your service in App.config
as a key/value pair like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="version" value="1" />
</appSettings>
</configuration>

Then use System.Configuration.ConfigurationSetting.AppSettings property
to retrieve it.
