I need to display the version number of the application on the top bar of the application. I managed to crate a setup wizard but I have no idea how to manage the verions.
Whenever I build my VB.Net project, the Assembly version does not automatically update as it is supposed to with the * in the third box in the Assembly Information. The only way I have found to (sometimes - it doesn't always work) get the version number to update is to Clean the Project, remove the *, Rebuild, reClean, put the * back in, and Rebuild again. What could be causing this issue to happen?
I should note that my coworker reports no such issue on his machine when Building the same Project; also, I must admit to some confusion on my part as to how this behavior is even possible, given that the error persists even if I remove every possible intermediate file I can think of that could possibly even be carrying the old version number, so how does it even know the old version number?
You can get the version of your application sing My.Application.Info.Version. Is it also possible to set this version using code? This because I have a webservice that connects to a database and retrieves a version number.My application then compares that version number with his one, if it's old.. then it will download new files and change his version number.
I am using an about Box in my program and the version number doenst change.Its 1.0.0.0.0 , does anyone know how to sink the version number in the box with the version number being published.
I have a XML file with the latest application version number, I have this loaded into a variable, how can i compare this against the application.info.version to see if it's the latest version??
I want to get the major, minor, build and revision version numbers of an EXE, not my vb project.If I do:

This is probably an easy question: I need to change my version number from 5.4 to 5.5. This is not the assembly version, but the version (I think) of my executable.
I have written a small program in VB 2010 Express and I would like to show the version number of my program on the form. I looked through the HELP files and found an example. I put the example in my code like this:'Get the version of the current application.
Dim assem As Assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly() Dim assemName As AssemblyName = assem.GetName() Dim ver As Version = assemName.Version Me.Text = "1st CPC Check Deposit Program Version" & " " & ver.ToString
I am up to version 1.0.0.8 but this is what prints:
I've defined two numbers. ThisVersionNumber and LatestVersionNumber, I want to compare them, and so if ThisVersionNumber = < LatestVersionNumber it will show a dialogue.
How do I receive the latest version number which is hosted at [URL]
is the a program or a script that will allow people to click a button or something on a vb 2008 program and it will connect to a server and update it to latest version?
I have several programs written in VB2008 on a network shared drive. Multiple PC's which have access to this drive run the programs. The problem is when I want to upgrade the program or a file/picture with changes, either I cannot overwrite the .exe file because someone is running it, or for example, a background picture on an open form is loaded and then I cannot change the picture on the server. I thought of placing a timing loop in the programs to frequently check a file on the server, which when I need to make a change, I can fill with an appropriate trigger word (like "exit") that would have the program terminate and be unable to restart until I change the file to "OK", but this seems rather crude. I assume there's a better and more elegant method.
I need to get the current install version for several apps installed on my machine (The same thing displayed in the Add/Remove Programs list)....how do I get this version info programatically?
I want to enable auto updating on my vb app.So I got Project--> Properties--> click the Application tab. Click the Assembly Information button --> Update the Assembly version. Then click ok.Then I build my app. Then I click the Publish Wizard. I specify the location to publish the app. It is an ftp folder.Then I click Next.It asks how will the user Install the app.I select FROM a CD-ROM.then I go next.It asks where will the app check for updates.I specify the same ftp folder.then I go finish. And it publishes to the ftp location.Then I get the setup file from that location and run it on my pc. It loads my app fine. then I build and publish again. But when I copen my app it doesn't update with the latest version.
Is it possible to change the application version without publishing the application? Because I'm going to make an auto updater which needs some version information to work, but I don't want to have an installer.
I am trying to run a nested loop; it should call a result from a MDB database. Which it does, when I run the single loop it goes thru all of the entries. But when I try to get a number to display twice it stops on the second entry. Having it display the number twice is just a test to make sure it does work, I am going to modify it after I can prove the loop works. The count on the Message Box is correct, but the number displayed is wrong?I want it to display each number twice and then move on to the next number. [code]
