The following code samples show how to retrieve the assembly version information set from the GUI in your Winforms or ASP.NET application:
ASP.NET
' --- Retrieve version of the executing assembly, and display it on a label
Dim s_version As String = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.GetName.Version.ToString
Label_Versie.Text = s_version
VB.NET Winforms or Console application
' --- Retrieve the assembly version info and display in the titlebar of the window
Dim myBuildInfo As FileVersionInfo = FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(Application.ExecutablePath)
Dim s_versionstring As String = myBuildInfo.ProductMajorPart & "." & myBuildInfo.ProductMinorPart & "." & myBuildInfo.ProductBuildPart
Me.Text = "Version " & s_versionstring
