    Assembly version number

    Hello All,

    I am writing a windows service and wish to retrieve the version number of
    the assembly. In a windows application, there is the Application class that
    contains this information. Is there a similar method in windows services?

          Assembly.GetNam e().Version. You can get the Assembly reference with
          typeof(SomeClas sInTheAssembly) .Assembly or
          Assembly.GetExe cutingAssembly( ).

                      You might want to define the version of your service in App.config
                      as a key/value pair like:

                      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
                      <configuratio n>
                      <appSettings>
                      <add key="version" value="1" />
                      </appSettings>
                      </configuration>

                      Then use System.Configur ation.Configura tionSetting.App Settings property
                      to retrieve it.
