how to show publish version in a textbox?

Question

At the moment I am manually updating the version field (textbox) in my application every time I publish it. I am wondering if there is a way to have my application get that data from somewhere and display it in the box for me. I am using VS2012 and I am just unsure of how to achieve that in C#. Below is a screenshot of the VS2012 properties window that I am talking about.

Don't forget to check if the application is networkdeployed otherwise it won't work in debug mode.

if (ApplicationDeployment.IsNetworkDeployed) {     this.Text = string.Format("Your application name - v{0}",         ApplicationDeployment.CurrentDeployment.CurrentVersion.ToString(4)); }

Try this:

using System.Deployment.Application;  public Version AssemblyVersion  {     get     {         return ApplicationDeployment.CurrentDeployment.CurrentVersion;     } } 

Then the caller to the getter property can de-reference the Major, Minor, Build and Revision properties, like this:

YourVersionTextBox.Text = AssemblyVersion.Major.ToString() + "."                         + AssemblyVersion.Minor.ToString() + "."                         + AssemblyVersion.Build.ToString() + "."                         + AssemblyVersion.Revision.ToString();
