Return Value

Type: System::String^

The String representation of the values of the major, minor, build, and revision components of the current Version object, as depicted in the following format. Each component is separated by a period character ('.'). Square brackets ('[' and ']') indicate a component that will not appear in the return value if the component is not defined:

major.minor[.build[.revision]]
