Showing ClickOnce deployment version on WPF application

Question

I\'m deploying now a WPF c# project and want to put the clickonce version (rather than the assembly or product version) on the screen title. I used to do it in

Answer 1

using System;
using System.Deployment.Application;

namespace Utils
{
    public class ClickOnce
    {
        public static Version GetPublishedVersion()
        {
            return ApplicationDeployment.IsNetworkDeployed 
                ? ApplicationDeployment.CurrentDeployment.CurrentVersion 
                : System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Version;
        }
    }
}

If you get an error about System.Deployment.Application, then Solution > Project > References > Add Reference > Assemblies > Framework > System.Deployment.

Do not parse the assembly XML for this information; you're relying on undocumented behaviour which simply happens to work 'for now'.
