If you're using a Web Application Project - you could do it like this...

Assembly web = Assembly.Load("App_Code");
AssemblyName webName = web.GetName();

string myVersion = webName.Version.ToString();

If you're using a Web Site project - nearly the same...

Assembly web = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
AssemblyName webName = web.GetName();

string myVersion = webName.Version.ToString();
