I am looking to use the format as below, but in a .net core WPF C# application. Here is how I used to use it.
public static string GetVersion()
{
if (System.Deployment.Application.ApplicationDeployment.IsNetworkDeployed)
{
Version myVersion = ApplicationDeployment.CurrentDeployment.CurrentVersion;
return $"Version {myVersion}";
}
return "Version not deployed";
}
Is there a matching process in .net core please? Thanks
There is a closed issue around this issue and ClickOnce deployment.
ApplicationDeploymentclass is not available - that class is implemented inSystem.Deployment assemblythat is not part of .NET Core 3.1 or .NET 5.We will have a way to expose some of the properties that the class enables, i.e. URL parameters and update status. But, that work could not be completed for .NET 5 release. We will enable it in one of .NET 6 previews. Here are the tracking issues: #27 and #53
Use of
ApplicationDeploymentclass in your deployed ClickOnce application is not possible, but main ClickOnce experience is available. It includes: creating ClickOnce deployment (manifests), publishing the application, creating and publishing updates. Your application will get automatic update check (and update, if user accepts it) - this part is handled by ClickOnce runtime and the new Launcher tool that becomes the entry point of ClickOnce deployment for .NET Core 3.1 and .NET 5 applications.
Consequently, as for now there does not seem to be a way to do this in .NET Core directly.
You should be able to get the assembly version using System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Version, as shown in Reading Assembly version information of WPF application
