to find version of an exe, i use this code

Dim FileProperties As FileVersionInfo = FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(Application.ExecutablePath)
Textbox1.Text = FileProperties.FileVersion

How come we find a version of an exe that's uploaded in FTP? i need the version of an exe that's already there in FTP. i know the path where the exe file is saved in FTP.

if you have any idea, please help me...

Thanks in advance...

That is correct.

Attached Class used for downloading files from FTP.

the exe name is getting too big. so instead of adding the version number in exe name, i will create a text file in that folder that contains verison number. so i can check this .txt file name to get version number.

for example: the text file name is going to be Ver.1.0.0.34.txt. 1.0.0.34 is version number, that keeps on change.

is there a way i can check the file that starts with "Ver" and ends with ".txt". so i can find the version number.

how come i check the file name from FTP?

if you have any idea, please let me know.

Thanks in advance...

You would have to know the filename BEFORE you can get it via FTP.

Why not have a text file called ver.txt? Your app could write this on installation

Thanks DmitryS and chrishirst for your help.

as you said i created a text file in FTP and checked version number from that.

Thank you so much for your help.
