Compare File versions using System.IO.Version class

Following is the sample code to compare versions for two file:

using System;


using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;
static void Main(string[] args)
{
           string strFileVersion1 = "1.0.2254.37578";
           string strFileVersion2 = "1.0.2254.36884";
            
           Version version1= new Version(strFileVersion1 );
           Version version2 = new Version(strFileVersion2);

            Console.WriteLine("File Version File 1 = " + strFileVersion1 + " File Version File 2 = " + strFileVersion2);
            
           if (version1 > version2)
                Console.WriteLine(strFileVersion1 + " is Newer then " + strFileVersion2);
           else if (version1 < version2)
                Console.WriteLine(strFileVersion1 + " is Older then " + strFileVersion2);
           else
                Console.WriteLine(strFileVersion1 + " is Equal to " + strFileVersion2);
            Console.ReadLine();
}


OUTPUT:

File Version File 1 = 1.0.2254.37578  File Version File 2 = 1.0.2254.36884
1.0.2254.37578 is Newer then 1.0.2254.36884

File Version File 1 = 1.0.2254.37578  File Version File 2 = 1.0.2254.37578

1.0.2254.37578 is Equal to 1.0.2254.37578

File Version File 1 = 1.0.2154.37578  File Version File 2 = 1.0.2254.37578
1.0.2154.37578 is Older then 1.0.2254.37578

File Version File 1 = 3.0.2154.37578  File Version File 2 = 2.0.2254.37578

3.0.2154.37578 is Newer then 2.0.2254.37578
