Determining version of a DLL

[Richard L Rosenheim]

Can someone point to some sample VB.NET code for extracting the version
number from a DLL? Specifically, I would like to retrieve the version
number of mscorcfg.dll.

TIA,

Richard Rosenheim

This is how to do what you need:

Dim strFrameworkDirectory As String =
Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeEnvironment.GetRuntimeDirectory()
Dim strFile As String = strFrameworkDirectory & "mscorcfg.dll"
Dim fviFilename As System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo =
System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(strFile)
MessageBox.Show(fviFilename.ProductVersion)

Thank you very much -- I was looking in the FileInfo class...
