Synopsis

This class represents a version number. The .NET framework uses it as the version of assemblies, operating systems, and network protocols. A version number consists of as many as four parts: a major, minor, build, and revision number. For some applications, such as the HTTP protocol, only the first two numbers (major and minor) are used.

public sealed class Version : ICloneable, IComparable {
// Public Constructors
   public Version( );
   public Version(int major, int minor);
   public Version(int major, int minor, int build);
   public Version(int major, int minor, int build, int revision);
   public Version(string version);
// Public Instance Properties
   public int Build{get; }
   public int Major{get; }
   public int Minor{get; }
   public int Revision{get; }
// Public Static Methods
   public static bool operator !=(Version v1, Version v2);
   public static bool operator <(Version v1, Version v2);
   public static bool operator <=(Version v1, Version v2);
   public static bool operator =  =(Version v1, Version v2);
   public static bool operator >(Version v1, Version v2);
   public static bool operator >=(Version v1, Version v2);
