How do I access the 'ProductVersion" from VS_VERSION_INFO

[cgb143]

Can someone tell me how to access the 'ProductVersion" from VS_VERSION_INFO in the resource file. I want to set the version number when I compile and use in a MessageBox from within my program Thanks

BOOL CString::LoadString( UINT nID ); throw( CMemoryException ); Return Value Nonzero if resource load was successful; otherwise 0. Parameters nID A Windows string resource ID. Reads a Windows string resource, identified by nID, into an existing CString object. The following example demonstrates the use of CString::LoadString. // example for CString::LoadString #define IDS_FILENOTFOUND 1 CString s; if (! s.LoadString( IDS_FILENOTFOUND )) { AfxMessageBox("Error Loading String: IDS_FILENOTFOUND"); ... } 路漫漫其修远兮，吾将上下而求索。
