Does anyone know if it is possible to get access to the assembly version
from code within that assembly?
Thx,

This took a little hunting to figure out:

using System.Reflection;
using System.Diagnostics;

Assembly assembly =3D Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
FileVersionInfo FVI =3D =
FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(assembly.Location);
=20
You can then inspect the FileVersionInfo properties. =
FileVersionInfo.Version is the composite form, which in turn is broken =
out as (from the VS.NET docs):

'Typically, a version number is displayed as "major number.minor =
number.build number.private part number". A file version number is a =
64-bit number that holds the version number for a file as follows:=20

-The first 16 bits are the FileMajorPart number.=20
-The next 16 bits are the FileMinorPart number.=20
-The third set of 16 bits are the FileBuildPart number.=20
-The last 16 bits are the FilePrivatePart number.'

These are available as separate properties too.

Regards,
