Public ReadOnly Property FileMajorPart As Integer

Property Value

A value representing the major part of the version number or 0 (zero) if the file did not contain version information.

Examples

The following example calls GetVersionInfo to get the FileVersionInfo for the Notepad. Then it prints the FileMajorPart in a text box. This code assumes textBox1 has been instantiated.

private:
   void GetFileMajorPart()
   {
      // Get the file version for the notepad.
      FileVersionInfo^ myFileVersionInfo = FileVersionInfo::GetVersionInfo( "%systemroot%\\Notepad.exe" );
      
      // Print the file major part number.
      textBox1->Text = String::Concat( "File major part number: ", myFileVersionInfo->FileMajorPart );
   }

private void GetFileMajorPart() {
    // Get the file version for the notepad.
    FileVersionInfo myFileVersionInfo = FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo("%systemroot%\\Notepad.exe");

    // Print the file major part number.
    textBox1.Text = "File major part number: " + myFileVersionInfo.FileMajorPart;
 }

Private Sub GetFileMajorPart()
    ' Get the file version for the notepad.
    Dim myFileVersionInfo As FileVersionInfo = _
        FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo("%systemroot%\Notepad.exe")
    
    ' Print the file major part number.
    textBox1.Text = "File major part number: " & myFileVersionInfo.FileMajorPart
End Sub

Remarks

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:

• The first 16 bits are the FileMajorPart number.

• The next 16 bits are the FileMinorPart number.

• The third set of 16 bits are the FileBuildPart number.

• The last 16 bits are the FilePrivatePart number.

This property gets the first set of 16 bits.
