File blocks when i get assembly version

I have updater for my app. When i check for updates, i compare server version with local Assembly version of main .exe file of application. When from updater(updater is another .exe file) i get assembly version of my main .exe file of application, this file is blocked.. How i can get assembly version of my project without blocking for rewriting? Keep version of assembly in XML file is not good idea. Thanks

Solution

  • You just need the AssemblyName to get the version :

    AssemblyName.GetAssemblyName(filename);
