dynamically determine .net baseframework version of exe or dll

Hi All,

Whether in a Winform application (.exe) or a .Net assembly (.dll), is there
a way to determine what version of the .net baseframework the run-time
module (i.e. exe or dll) was loaded with (is using)? Seems that using
reflection this is possible...just can't seem to figure out what
classes/instances will get me there. Thanks in advance!

If you are looking for a non-programmatic way you can enable CLR Load
Logging which I blogged about

Hi

The framework library, that includes .exes and .dlls, (eg :say
System.dll) are .net assemblies.... So you can always query the
metadata of assebmly through reflection.

hope this is helpful

Thanks
