Examples
The following example calls GetVersionInfo to get the FileVersionInfo for the Notepad. Then it displays whether this version is a special build version in a text box. This code assumes textBox1 has been instantiated.
private:
void GetIsSpecialBuild()
{
// Get the file version for the notepad.
FileVersionInfo^ myFileVersionInfo =
FileVersionInfo::GetVersionInfo( Environment::SystemDirectory + "\\Notepad.exe" );
// Print whether the file is a special build.
textBox1->Text = String::Concat( "File is a special build: ", myFileVersionInfo->IsSpecialBuild );
}
private void GetIsSpecialBuild()
{
// Get the file version for the notepad.
FileVersionInfo myFileVersionInfo =
FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(Environment.SystemDirectory + "\\Notepad.exe");
// Print whether the file is a special build.
textBox1.Text = "File is a special build: " + myFileVersionInfo.IsSpecialBuild;
}
Private Sub GetIsSpecialBuild()
' Get the file version for the notepad.
Dim myFileVersionInfo As FileVersionInfo = _
FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(Environment.SystemDirectory + "\Notepad.exe")
' Print whether the file is a special build.
textBox1.Text = "File is a special build: " & myFileVersionInfo.IsSpecialBuild
End Sub
Remarks
A file that is a special build was built using standard release procedures, but the file differs from a standard file of the same version number. If this value is true, the SpecialBuild property must specify how this file differs from the standard version.
