I have a small VB.NET application that I’m working on using the full version

  • 0

I have a small VB.NET application that I’m working on using the full version of Visual Studio 2005. In the Publish properties of the project, I have it set to Automatically increment revision with each publish.

The issue is that it’s only incrementing the revision in the Setup files. It doesn’t seem to be updating the version number in the About Box (which is the generic, built-in, About Box template). That version number seems to be coming from My.Application.Info.Version.

What should I be using instead so that my automatically incrementing revision number shows up in the about box?

  1. Change the code for the About box to 

    Me.LabelVersion.Text = String.Format('Version {0}', My.Application.Deployment.CurrentVersion.ToString)

    Please note that all the other answers are correct for ‘how do I get my assembly version’, not the stated question ‘how do I show my publish version’.
