Matthew,
If the Module in a Windows Application, I normally use
Application.ProductVersion to get the application's product version, then
use the following code to get the product version of specific assemblies:
Private Function GetProductVersion(ByVal [assembly] As
System.Reflection.Assembly) As String
Dim attributes() As Object
attributes =
[assembly].GetCustomAttributes(GetType(System.Reflection.AssemblyInformationalVersionAttribute),
False)
If attributes.Length > 0 Then
Dim assemblyProductVersion As
System.Reflection.AssemblyInformationalVersionAttribute =
DirectCast(attributes(0),
System.Reflection.AssemblyInformationalVersionAttribute)
Return assemblyProductVersion.InformationalVersion
Else
Return String.Empty
End If
End Function
I normally use AssemblyInformationalVersionAttribute to set the Product
Version, then update it manually when I am ready to do a new build.
' somewhere in the AssemblyInfo.vb file:
<Assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.*")>
<Assembly: AssemblyInformationalVersion("1.0.0")> ' Product Version
Hope this helps
Jay
