How to get the current product version in C#?

Question

How can I programmatically get the current product version in C#?

My code:

VersionNumber = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Version.ToString(); 

I am getting VersionNumber=1.0.0.0, but the current version is 1.0.0.12.

There are three versions: assembly, file, and product. To get the product version:

using System.Reflection; using System.Diagnostics; Assembly assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly(); FileVersionInfo fileVersionInfo = FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(assembly.Location); string version = fileVersionInfo.ProductVersion;
