Assembly: version

[Russ Green]

I'm trying to retrieve the version attribute of the current assembly in
Console and Service applications. I've tried the following method but it
doesn't work for me. Any ideas:

' Return the assembly's Version attribute value.
Public Function GetAssemblyVersion() As String
Dim m_MyAssembly As [Assembly] = [Assembly].GetExecutingAssembly

If m_MyAssembly.IsDefined(GetType(AssemblyVersionAttribute), True) Then
Dim attr As Attribute = _
Attribute.GetCustomAttribute(m_MyAssembly,
GetType(AssemblyVersionAttribute))
Dim version_attr As AssemblyVersionAttribute = DirectCast(attr,
AssemblyVersionAttribute)
Return version_attr.Version.ToString
Else
Return ""
End If
End Function


TIA

Try this:

Dim objAssembly As System.Reflection.Assembly =
System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly
Dim objVersion As Version = objAssembly.GetName.Version

System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(objVersion.ToString)
