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

Try this:

var thisApp = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
AssemblyName name = new AssemblyName(thisApp.FullName);
VersionNumber = "v. " + name.Version;

Also, see this Microsoft Doc on the AssemblyName.Version property.
