body: <p>How can I programmatically read what version of software I am using?</p>
  
  <p>If I use Visual Studio to create a project, and that project includes a resource (.rc) file and the version is specified in that file, how can I use code to "read" the version information?</p>
  
  <p>That is, if I want the software to report what version it is when it is run, and the only place this information is stored is in the <code>.rc</code> file, what can I do?</p>
