How to display ClickOnce Version number on Windows Forms

I have a windows forms application that is deployed to two different locations.

  • Intranet - ClickOnce
  • Internet - Installed on a citrix farm through Windows installer

I display ClickOnce version number for click-once deployed versionApplicationDeployment.IsNetworkDeployed.

if (ApplicationDeployment.IsNetworkDeployed)
        return ApplicationDeployment.CurrentDeployment.CurrentVersion;

But for the non-click application, I am not sure how to retrieve clickonce version unless I hardcode the version number in assembly info.

Is there an automatic way of retrieve ClickOnce version number for non-clickonce deployed version?

clickonce deployment .net c#

No I do not believe that there is a way. I believe the ClickOnce information comes from the manifest which will only be available in a ClickOnce deployment. I think that hard coding the version number is your best option.

Hard code, or... Keep track on your versions (File, Assembly, Deploy) in a database. Make a call to the database with your Assembly and get the Deploy version.

This assumes that you are incrementing your versions in a logical way such that each version type has a relationship. It's a lot of work for such a minor problem. I'd personally go with Jared's solution; although I hate hard coding anything.
