I like to place the version number of the current application either on the console output or the title bar of the Winform. Using the below method I am able to extract the current assemblies information and return the version info to be displayed.

using System.Reflection;
using System.Diagnostics;


~


// Place in local code


Assembly ass = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();


string version;




if (ass != null)


{


    FileVersionInfo FVI = FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(ass.Location);




    version = String.Format("{0} Version ({1:0}.{2:0})",


                  FVI.ProductName,


                  FVI.FileMajorPart.ToString(),


                  FVI.FileMinorPart.ToString());


}


else


{


   version = "Unknown";


}
