Checking Version of a file

Hi,

I would like to know if it's possible to get the Version of a file (dll, exe..) directly from the desktop side.
I'm using OPENNETCF with DeviceFileExists to know if the file exists or not, but I did'nt find a way to get the version number.
I know that if I would I could write a device application and get the dll version number by using :

System.Reflection.Assembly;

But I would like to do everything on the desktop side and to not launch the dll.
But if it's not possible I could only write on the device side using the CF 1.1.

Thanks,
