I'm putting together a little test app to get version info from a web server.

To get the .NET Framework version I use:

System.Environment.Version.ToString();

Is there a similar thing for grabbing the crystal version info?

You have to use the File class library to get the FileVersionInfo() function (or something like that) and pass it the fully qualified filename for the Crystal Reports DLL. I wrote a utility for Business Objects that did this for their entire library and there is a link on the home page of this site. Unfortunately, I don't have the code for it with me. But run that utility and it will tell you all the files in CR and which version each one is. Then look in the .NET library and use the function the gets version info on individual files.
