    string version
)

Exceptions

Exception Condition

version is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Remarks

The file version is normally a string of four numbers, separated by periods, reflecting the major version number, minor version number, build number, and revision number; for example, "1.0.4309.00". If version is not in this format, a compiler warning occurs, and the results displayed in the file properties dialog are unpredictable. Wildcards are not supported.
