ICLRMetaHost::GetVersionFromFile Method
Gets an assembly's original .NET Framework compilation version (stored in the metadata), given its file path. This method supersedes the GetFileVersion function.
Syntax
HRESULT GetVersionFromFile (
[in] LPCWSTR pwzFilePath,
[out, size_is(*pcchBuffer)] LPWSTR pwzBuffer,
[in, out] DWORD *pcchBuffer);
);
Parameters
pwzFilePath
[in] The complete assembly file path.
pwzbuffer
[out] The .NET Framework compilation version stored in the metadata, in the format "vA.B[.X]". A, B, and X are decimal numbers that correspond to the major version, the minor version, and the build number. The length of this string is limited to MAX_PATH.
Note
This output matches the directory name for the .NET Framework version, as it appears under C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework.
Example values are "v1.0.3705", "v1.1.4322", "v2.0.50727", and "v4.0.X", where X depends on the build number installed. Note that the "v" prefix is required.
pcchBuffer
[in, out] The size of pwzbuffer
to avoid buffer overruns.
Return Value
This method returns the following specific HRESULTs as well as HRESULT errors that indicate method failure.
HRESULT | Description |
---|---|
S_OK | The method completed successfully. |
E_POINTER | pwzbuffer or pcchBuffer is null. |
HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER) | The buffer is too small. |
