How can I get the version of SSMS from VSIX

Question

I am developing an extention for SSMS using VSIX. In this extension I need to know which version of SSMS I am running on. What is the best way to get that?

Answer 1

I do it like this in my SSMS extension (for SSMS 16 and higher)

        var dte = GetServiceHelper(typeof(EnvDTE.DTE)) as EnvDTE.DTE;
        if (dte == null) return new Version(130, 0, 0, 0);
        if (dte.RegistryRoot.Contains("14.0"))
        {
            return new Version(140, 0, 0, 0);
        }
        return new Version(130, 0, 0, 0);
