Class

Syntax
Application.ProductVersion( )
Return Value
A String containing the product version of the application
Description
Gets the product version of the application.
This is a read-only property. The product version typically has the form:
MajorVersionNumber.MinorVersionNumber.BuildNumber.PrivatePartNumber
Its default value is "1.0.*", which indicates that
Visual Studio maintains default build and revision numbers.
The value of the ProductVersion property can be defined by including
the <AssemblyVersion> attribute in the
application’s AssemblyInfo file. Its syntax is:
<Assembly: AssemblyVersion("maj.min.bld.rev")>where maj is the major version number,
min is the minor version number,
bld is the build number, and
rev is the revision number.
