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
