Question

I got:

using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Reflection;

namespace Site
{
    public abstract class General
    {

        private static string _version;

        public static string Version { get { return _version; } }

        static General()
        {
            Assembly assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
            FileVersionInfo fileVersionInfo = FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(assembly.Location);
            _version = fileVersionInfo.ProductVersion;
        }

    }
}

The code works fine and I can get the version anywhere I need accessing Site.General.Version. Now I’m trying to use the inline tag <% = Site.General.Version %> but I’m getting a error message saying System.ComponentModel.ISite does not contain a definition or ‘General’…. I think there’s a namespace conflict because of the interface ISite.

How can I solve this?

Try adding this to the top of your aspx

 <%@ Import Namespace="Site" %> 

And change your code like this

 <%= General.Version %>

EDIT

This is the syntax to do it for all pages on web.config

<system.web>
      <pages>
           <namespaces>
                <add namespace="Site" />
           </namespaces>
      </pages>
</system.web>
