Version Numbers

[UJ]

Here's a dumb question - how can I find out the version number of my program
in code. I don't want to have to manually set it every time. I'd like to be
able to get the version much like if you right click on the exe and go to
version.

TIA - Jeff.

Use AssemblyVersionAttribute to specify the version, and
Assembly.GetName().Version to retrieve it at runtime.

Jeff,
You probably are looking for the AssemblyVersionAttribute from the
AssemblyInfo.cs class file. The MSDN documentation details this and how to
get at it at runtime:

Peter, can you also set it at compile time, programmatically?
