Public ReadOnly Property IsSpecialBuild As Boolean

Property Value

Examples

The following example calls GetVersionInfo to get the FileVersionInfo for the Notepad. Then it displays whether this version is a special build version in a text box. This code assumes textBox1 has been instantiated.

private:
    void GetIsSpecialBuild()
    {
        // Get the file version for the notepad.
        FileVersionInfo^ myFileVersionInfo =
            FileVersionInfo::GetVersionInfo( Environment::SystemDirectory + "\\Notepad.exe" );

        // Print whether the file is a special build.
        textBox1->Text = String::Concat( "File is a special build: ", myFileVersionInfo->IsSpecialBuild );
    }

private void GetIsSpecialBuild()
{
    // Get the file version for the notepad.
    FileVersionInfo myFileVersionInfo =
        FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(Environment.SystemDirectory + "\\Notepad.exe");

    // Print whether the file is a special build.
    textBox1.Text = "File is a special build: " + myFileVersionInfo.IsSpecialBuild;
}

Private Sub GetIsSpecialBuild()
    ' Get the file version for the notepad.
    Dim myFileVersionInfo As FileVersionInfo = _
        FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(Environment.SystemDirectory + "\Notepad.exe")
    
    ' Print whether the file is a special build.
    textBox1.Text = "File is a special build: " & myFileVersionInfo.IsSpecialBuild
End Sub

Remarks

A file that is a special build was built using standard release procedures, but the file differs from a standard file of the same version number. If this value is true, the SpecialBuild property must specify how this file differs from the standard version.
