Version number in .NET Compact Framework application

Question

I need to display the .NET Compact Framework version number on the screen. I am using .NET CF 2.0 with Windows CE 4.0.

So far, I have been ignoring the version numb

• You can also use Version.ToString() passing the number of components to return as parameter:

  System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Version.ToString(3)

  This line returns Major.Minor.Build

• There is an AssemblyInfo.cs in your project where you can edit your assembly version. To automatically increment the revision you can use something like this: 1.0.3200.*
