How to put the version number i'm working on

eresina · January 6th, 2005, 01:05 PM

Hello,

I need to show the last version number of my web application in a label on my main webform. Is there any method or something similar that can give it to me, instead of calculation it from am initial file? I'm not sure if it's clear for you what i want...

Thank you,

Hi there,

Try this:

Code:

using System.Reflection;
...
...
(Later)
  Assembly SampleAssembly;
  // Instantiate a target object.
  Int32 Integer1 = new Int32();
  Type Type1;
  // Set the Type instance to the target class type.
  Type1 = Integer1.GetType();
  // Instantiate an Assembly class to the assembly housing the Integer type.  
   SampleAssembly = Assembly.GetAssembly(Integer1.GetType());
  // Display the name of the assembly currently executing
  string theVersion = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Version.ToString();
      lblVersion.Text = theVersion;

HtH,

Or much shorter and simpler:

lblVersion = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly(). GetName().Version.ToString();
