Cannot get assembly version for footer

Question

I\'m using the automatic build versioning mentioned in this question (not the selected answer but the answer that uses the [assembly: AssemblyVersion(\"1.0.*\")] te

Answer 1

You can:

e.g in your Application_Start method in Global.asax file add

protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    HttpContext.Current.Application.Add("Version", System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Version.ToString());
}

in HTML show it by

<% =HttpContext.Current.Application["Version"].ToString() %>

ALSO Change Assembly version to 1.0.0.* by going to - Project properties > Application > Assembly Information and assembly version is shown as 1.0.0.0 - change it to 1.0.0.*

this will give you some versioning
