Class

System.Windows.Forms.Application

Syntax

 Application.ProductVersion(  ) 

Return Value

A String containing the product version of the application

Description

Gets the product version of the application.

This is a read-only property. The product version typically has the form:

 MajorVersionNumber.MinorVersionNumber.BuildNumber.PrivatePartNumber 

Its default value is "1.0.*" , which indicates that Visual Studio maintains default build and revision numbers .

The value of the ProductVersion property can be defined by including the <AssemblyVersion> attribute in the application's AssemblyInfo file. Its syntax is:

 <Assembly: AssemblyVersion("   maj.min.bld.rev   ")> 

where maj is the major version number, min is the minor version number, bld is the build number, and rev is the revision number.

VB.NET/VB 6 Differences

The ProductVersion property in the .NET Framework corresponds to the App. Major, App.Minor, and App.Revision properties in VB 6.
