Examples

The following example calls GetVersionInfo to get the FileVersionInfo for the Notepad. Then it calls ToString to print a list of the file version information in a text box. This code assumes textBox1 has been instantiated.

private:
    void GetFileVersion2()
    {
        // Get the file version for the notepad.
        FileVersionInfo^ myFileVersionInfo =
            FileVersionInfo::GetVersionInfo( Environment::SystemDirectory + "\\Notepad.exe" );

        // Print all the version information.
        textBox1->Text = myFileVersionInfo->ToString();
    }

private void GetFileVersion2()
{
    // Get the file version for the notepad.
    FileVersionInfo myFileVersionInfo =
        FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(Environment.SystemDirectory + "\\Notepad.exe");

    // Print all the version information.
    textBox1.Text = myFileVersionInfo.ToString();
}

Private Sub GetFileVersion2()
    ' Get the file version for the notepad.
    Dim myFileVersionInfo As FileVersionInfo = _
        FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(Environment.SystemDirectory + "\Notepad.exe")
    
    ' Print all the version information.
    textBox1.Text = myFileVersionInfo.ToString()
End Sub
