When publishing vbexpress application, you can specify that it increases the version number each time, and it does indeed create different published versions with the updated versioning in the name of the folders/files.

However, the splash screen displays the versioning info from the Application dialogs, that do NOT increment.

Any way to modify splash screen to reference the incrementing publish versioning info, or to get the Application versioning to auto increment?

Public Class Form1

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

'' Get Version as it appears in "My Project/Application/Assembly Information/Assembly Version" Dialog

MsgBox("Assembly Version: " & My.Application.Info.Version.ToString)

'' Get Version as it appears in "My Project/Application/Assembly Information/File Version" Dialog

MsgBox("File Version: " & Application.ProductVersion)

'' Get Version as it appears in "My Project/Publish/Publish Version" Dialog

If My.Application.IsNetworkDeployed Then

' App is deployed by ClickOnce, so the following is valid

MsgBox("Publish Version: " & My.Application.Deployment.CurrentVersion.ToString)

Else

' App is NOT deployed by ClickOnce (running in VS development environment for instance)

MsgBox("Publish Version: " & "not deployed")

End If

End Sub

End Class



For Splash form, I am using the third version, with proper check to make sure I'm running an installed application
