Is there a way to check the version of a file?

Question

Is there a way to check the version of a file? I am using windows form application.

Answer 1

You can use System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(String)

FileVersionInfo

Provides version information for a physical file on disk.

GetVersionInfo()

Returns a FileVersionInfo representing the version information associated with the specified file.

var version = FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(path).FileVersion;

Answer 2

Use this:

    var filePath = @"C:\Windows\System32\xwizard.exe";
    var fileInfo = FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(filePath);
    var vers = fileInfo.FileVersion;
