FileVersionInfo.IsPrivateBuild Property

Definition

Gets a value that specifies whether the file was built using standard release procedures.

public:
 property bool IsPrivateBuild { bool get(); };
public bool IsPrivateBuild { get; }
member this.IsPrivateBuild : bool
Public ReadOnly Property IsPrivateBuild As Boolean

Property Value

true if the file is a private build; false if the file was built using standard release procedures or if the file did not contain version information.

Examples

The following example calls GetVersionInfo to get the FileVersionInfo for the Notepad. Then it displays the private build information in a text box. This code assumes textBox1 has been instantiated.

private:
    void GetIsPrivateBuild()
    {
        // Get the file version for the notepad.
        FileVersionInfo^ myFileVersionInfo =
            FileVersionInfo::GetVersionInfo( Environment::SystemDirectory + "\\Notepad.exe" );

        // Print whether the version is a private build.
        textBox1->Text = String::Concat( "Version is a private build: ", myFileVersionInfo->IsPrivateBuild );
    }
private void GetIsPrivateBuild()
{
    // Get the file version for the notepad.
    FileVersionInfo myFileVersionInfo =
        FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(Environment.SystemDirectory + "\\Notepad.exe");

    // Print whether the version is a private build.
    textBox1.Text = "Version is a private build: " + myFileVersionInfo.IsPrivateBuild;
}
Private Sub GetIsPrivateBuild()
    ' Get the file version for the notepad.
    Dim myFileVersionInfo As FileVersionInfo = _
        FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(Environment.SystemDirectory + "\Notepad.exe")
    
    ' Print whether the version is a private build.
    textBox1.Text = "Version is a private build: " & myFileVersionInfo.IsPrivateBuild
End Sub

Remarks

If this value is true, PrivateBuild will describe how this version of the file differs from the standard version.
