How to get the current product version in C#?

Question

How can I programmatically get the current product version in C#?

My code:

VersionNumber = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName         


        

Answer 1

All these answers ask for the assembly with .GetExecutingAssembly().
If you have this code in a dll, it will return the dll version number.

Swap that call for GetCallingAssembly() to get the place in your code that wanted to know.

/// 

/// Returns version like 2.1.15
/// 
public static String ProductVersion
{
    get
    {
        return new Version(FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(Assembly.GetCallingAssembly().Location).ProductVersion).ToString();
    }
}
