   'Get the file version for the Notepad.
   Dim myFileVersionInfo As System.Winforms.FileVersionInfo
   myFileVersionInfo = System.Winforms.FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo("c:\WINNT\Notepad.exe")

   'Print the file name and version number.
   TextBox1.Text = "File: " & myFileVersionInfo.FileDescription & crlf
   TextBox1.Text &= "Version Number: " & myFileVersionInfo.FileVersion
End Sub
