Application.ProductVersion always returns 1.0.0.0

Question

On the publish tab of My Project the correct current version is there, 1.1.0.0 and in Programs and Features under Control Panel it shows 1.1.0.0 but when I reference Application.ProductVersion I get 1.0.0.0.

What am I doing wrong or what am I missing here?

Thanks.

Answer 1

The assemby version (in the application.config file) and the ClickOnce Publish version are 2 seperate numbers.

If you want to get the ClickOnce version at runtime you can use the following code

     If (System.Deployment.Application.ApplicationDeployment.IsNetworkDeployed) Then
        With System.Deployment.Application.ApplicationDeployment.CurrentDeployment.CurrentVersion
            Me.Text = "V" & .Major & "." & .Minor & "." & .Build
        End With
     End If

Edit: For the full, four-segment revision number you'll need:

Me.Text = "V" & .Major & "." & .Minor & "." & .Build & "." & .Revision
