如何在Visual Studio WPF中绑定“发布版本”属性

Question

When I'm using the publish option in Visual Studio to create an .*exe package of my application, I can change the Publish Version and it starts from 1.0.0.0.

Every time I'm changing something and re-publish it, the version number is increment automatically, and I want to bind that property to a TextBlock in my WPF.

How can I do that? Thank you.

First of all you have to reference in your project to System.Deployment.dll than you can try this code:

    public string PublishVersion
    {
        get
        {
            if (System.Deployment.Application.ApplicationDeployment.IsNetworkDeployed)
            {
                Version ver = System.Deployment.Application.ApplicationDeployment.CurrentDeployment.CurrentVersion;
                return string.Format("{0}.{1}.{2}.{3}", ver.Major, ver.Minor, ver.Build, ver.Revision);
            }
            else
            {
                return "Not Published";
            }
        }
    }

Remember that will be work only when you have installed your app.
