using System.Reflection;


//To retrieve the version number from the 
// assembly in your code, you use can do this:
string strVersion = 
    Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Version.ToString(); 
//To retrieve the version number from the
// assembly that is calling your assembly, 
// you can use this:
string strVersion = 
    Assembly.GetCallingAssembly().GetName().Version.ToString();

// Retrieving the executing assembly's path as a Uri
Uri uri = new Uri(System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName( 
      Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase));
// and as a string path
string path = new Uri(System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName( 
      Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase)).LocalPath;
