    Getting a Dll's version..

    Common knowledge, to get the application version you can use Application.productversion ..

    However we need to return the Version of a Dll.. I've cant seem to find where to get it .. adding Windows.forms and using the Application.productversion returns the calling EXE's version ...

    Please Help ????

    Thanks .. Gremmy

    Take a look at the Version class and one of the examples.

    You may also want to have a look at these :
    FileVersionInfo Class

    Or even the GetFileVersionInfo API
