Question

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

My code:

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

I am getting VersionNumber=1.0.0.0, but the current version is 1.0.0.12.

I got the answer to my question its Just give the reference to System.Deployment.Application and though it wont work in developement of the visual studio but it will work once the application is deployed.

//using System.Deployment.Application;
//using System.Reflection;
public string CurrentVersion
{
    get
    {
        return ApplicationDeployment.IsNetworkDeployed
               ? ApplicationDeployment.CurrentDeployment.CurrentVersion.ToString()
               : Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Version.ToString();
    }
}
