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

        // Print the file description.
        textBox1->Text = String::Concat( "File description: ", myFileVersionInfo->FileDescription );
    }

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

    // Print the file description.
    textBox1.Text = "File description: " + myFileVersionInfo.FileDescription;
}

Private Sub GetFileDescription()
    ' Get the file version for the notepad.
    Dim myFileVersionInfo As FileVersionInfo = _
        FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(Environment.SystemDirectory + "\Notepad.exe")
    
    ' Print the file description.
    textBox1.Text = "File description: " & myFileVersionInfo.FileDescription
End Sub
