   // Display the application information in the label.
   this.labelVersionInfo.Text = 
      this.CompanyName + "  " + 
      this.ProductName + "  Version: " +
      this.ProductVersion;  
}

Private Sub AboutDialog_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
   ' Display the application information in the label.
   Me.labelVersionInfo.Text = _
      Me.CompanyName + "  " + _
      Me.ProductName + "  Version: " + _
      Me.ProductVersion
   End Sub

Remarks

The ProductVersion property is a read-only property. To change the value of this property, set the Version property value of the AssemblyVersionAttribute. The following line of C# code sets the ProductVersion property.

[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.1")]

Note

It is strongly recommended that you provide the company name, product name, and product version. Providing this information enables the use of Windows Forms features such as Application.UserAppDataPath that make it easier to write applications that comply with the "Certified for Windows" program.
