Is there an easy way to obtain the version info of the addin from within the addin?

Regards

Hi Phil,

Do you mean the version of the dll file? I.e. the information you can see in Windows Explorer?

Hi Phil,

See the http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/winui/winui/windowsuserinterface/resources/versioninformation/versioninformationreference/versioninformationfunctions/getfileversioninfo.asp function.

I was already going down this path - the issue was obtaining the correct name. Ended up using GetModuleFileName et al to get the right information.
