Version Labels for both AdvancedHMI Build and Current publish revision

(1/2) > >>

Etten:
Has anyone made a label that would display the version information? I know VS auto increments the publish version and I would like this to automatically update on each publish so i know what version the customer is on just by asking and not make them exit the application to find the folder that has the info. I think it would be a nice addition and help with troubleshooting. Thanks for any help!

  By default, doesn't the title of the main window show the version?  Or is this something different you are asking for?

Etten:
under project then advanced hmi properties there is this publish properties the part in red is what i would like to display as a label i cant figure out how to. I found a website that shows how to do it but my code never works, I'm not very good with VS.

Here is the site https://www.codeproject.com/Tips/445830/Automatically-display-your-application-version

and screenshot below

Godra:
You can try the following code after you add 2 standard labels and name them "lblAHMIVersion" and "lblPublishedVersion":


--- Code: ---    Private Sub MainForm_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        'set AHMI version info
        lblAHMIVersion.Text = "v" & System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.GetName.Version.ToString()

        'set published version info
        If System.Deployment.Application.ApplicationDeployment.IsNetworkDeployed Then
            lblPublishedVersion.Text = "v" & System.Deployment.Application.ApplicationDeployment.CurrentDeployment.CurrentVersion.ToString()
        End If
    End Sub

--- End code ---

You can omit either of the labels and remove corresponding code.
