[Solved] Version # at runtime?

[Jay]

At runtime, how do I query or log the version of RadControls that is installed and being used? Is there a version # for each type of control, or just one for Prometheus?

Thanks!
Jay

Hello Jay,

Generally there are no independent versions for the different controls in Telerik.Web.UI.

Here is an example how to get the assembly version:

Assembly TelerikWebUIAssembly = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies().Where<Assembly>(i => i.FullName.Contains("Telerik.Web.UI")).FirstOrDefault();
if (TelerikWebUIAssembly != null)
{
    Response.Write(TelerikWebUIAssembly.GetName().Version);
}

 

Other possible solution is to get the assembly for a specific type. Here is an example:

Assembly TelerikWebUIAssembly = Assembly.GetAssembly(typeof(Telerik.Web.UI.RadWebControl))
if (TelerikWebUIAssembly != null)
{
   Response.Write(TelerikWebUIAssembly.GetName().Version);
}

Isn't there just a simple .Version() method in one of your classes that returns the version string such as "2007.3.1425.35"? The System.Reflection.Assembly approach works (thanks for sending this), but it seems to be an awkward way to get such valuable information (I would think most apps would want to dump this value to a log on every startup to aid in supporting commercial applications). If a simple .Version() does not exist, I would recomend adding this to the API.

Thanks again!!
