Examples

The following example calls GetVersionInfo to get the FileVersionInfo for the Notepad. Then it prints the ProductMajorPart in a text box. This code assumes textBox1 has been instantiated.

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

        // Print the product major part number.
        textBox1->Text = String::Concat( "Product major part number: ", myFileVersionInfo->ProductMajorPart );
    }

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

    // Print the product major part number.
    textBox1.Text = "Product major part number: " + myFileVersionInfo.ProductMajorPart;
}

Private Sub GetProductMajorPart()
    ' Get the file version for the notepad.
    Dim myFileVersionInfo As FileVersionInfo = _
        FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(Environment.SystemDirectory + "\Notepad.exe")
    
    ' Print the product major part number.
    textBox1.Text = "Product major part number: " & myFileVersionInfo.ProductMajorPart
End Sub

Remarks

Typically, a version number is displayed as "major number.minor number.build number.private part number". A product version number is a 64-bit number that holds the version number as follows:

The first 16 bits are the ProductMajorPart number.
The next 16 bits are the ProductMinorPart number.
The third set of 16 bits are the ProductBuildPart number.
The last 16 bits are the ProductPrivatePart number.

This property gets the first set of 16 bits.
