How do I get Version Information From The AssemblyInfo File?

To get version information at Runtime in VB .NET, use the following code:

Function Version() As String With _ 
System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.Location)
Return .FileMajorPart & "." & .FileMinorPart & "." & .FileBuildPart & "." & .FilePrivatePart
End With
End Function
Function Display() As String
With System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.Location)
Return .Comments
End With
End Function

Upon running the version information of the Assembly file is displayed.
