By Etienne Bley July 14, 2017February 3, 2022

It has been a mystery on how to get the version number that is in Visual Studio (eg 1.0.1.4) to show. Now I can use a default method to go and get that or have a “version” method in everything that I build. For now, I have a VBA way of getting it. I would […]
