My vb.net 2.0 application has a publish version of major = 1, Minor =0,
Build = 2 and Revision = 11
with Automatically increment selected.

How do I programatically extract that information.
Thanks
Terry
 
Dim FVI As FileVersionInfo
FVI = FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo("<Filename and path here>")
FVI.FileMajorPart()
FVI.FileMinorPart()
FVI.FileBuildPart()
...... etc.

It does not:
In my Publish tab: I have the values: 1.0.2.13 (Major.Minor.Build.Revision)
With your code I get : 1.0.0 and there are no revision properties...
any other suggestions ?

msgbox(My.Application.Info.Version.ToString)

Sorry, I'm not sure what else to do. Try Jason's suggestion. I use VS
2003 and the code I passed on works. Our shop hasn't moved to VS 2005
yet, but one of my programmers is working with it and he told me he was
having problems with auto incrementing the build numbers.
Unfortunately, we have a large application that relies on this to push
changes to the users without any work on our part. I'd be anxious to
hear your results or any solution you come up with.
 
ahhh... actually my.application.info.version shows the build
version....not the publish version (which only gets incremented each time
the app is published if the box is checked....) the build version will
increment on each build
