MsgBox( _

Are you talking about the file version of the executing assembly like
Herfried answered for or getting the file version info of any file/dll?

Here's how to get the file version of any file like the properties dialog
shows:

Dim strPath As String =
Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.System).ToString
Dim strFile As String = IO.Path.Combine(strPath, "User32.dll")

Dim fvi As System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo = _
System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(strFile)

MessageBox.Show(String.Format("'User32.dll' version is: {0}", _
fvi.FileVersion.ToString), "File Version Info Example")

The above gets the file version of the 'User32.DLL' file & displays it in a
message box.
