How to determine the current version of ASP.NET MVC?

Question

Is there a way to get the current version of ASP.NET MVC in code? Reflecting on MVC assemblies is needed? Any new IIS server variables? Some property to read in HTTP context?

Answer 1

At runtime-

string mvcVersion = typeof (Controller).Assembly.GetName().Version.ToString();

At design time-

• Go to your reference folder
• look for system.web.mvc
• Right Click on it
• Click Properties Look at the Version property
