Setup: I’ve been working on a WPF app, which just so happens to be my first “real” WPF app (I usually do web development), and I wanted to simply embed the version number on our splash image. For those of you not familiar, in WPF having a splash image appear while your app is being loaded is as simple as right clicking on an image and setting it’s build action to “SplashScreen”. At least I believe it’s been that easy since WPF 3.5 SP1 release.
