Re: File Version

Steven:

My preference would be to get the version information for the setup.exe file
I upload to my web site for users to download. The setup.exe file is a
compressed setup file that contains all the dll and exe files
(assemblies)necessary for the program.

If that is not possible, then another method would need to be employed, such
as you mention. I have not worked with dynamic web pages, so I really can't
say if that will do or not. I will do some reading on that subject.

How about just reading a user variable property, a custom metadata element)
that I set for the downloads.htm web page of my site? Can I read that data
remotely? If so, it would be easy to set a value named Version and provide
its value every time I upload a new version.

Again, I would prefer to get that information directly from the uploaded
file it at all possible.

Thanks,

Dennis
