Ok, that was easy, it's in studioService.GetStudioVersion(). My bad.

Hi Andrea
Thanks for this. Good stuff. How about the actual currently studio version my plugin is running from? Is that info available?
THANKS!

Hi hiroshi kameya ,

If you download from Nuget: Sdl.Community.Toolkit.Core you'll be able to see all Studio versions installed on the machine.

To do so you need a instance of StudioVersionService :

var studioService = new StudioVersionService();
var studioList = studioService.GetInstalledStudioVersions();

Kind regards,

Andrea Ghisa.

As I couldn't find such API, I wrote the above code before.
Romulus might tell us if the API exists.

Hi Hiroshi
Thanks for this. I was hoping for something more generic, preferably using the API from within C#. It this not possible?

I mean, if they decided to change the directoy in later versions this would not work very well, and it really does not guarantee that this is the version the user is infact running studio from.

Hi. How about this?

using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.IO;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Resources;

public static string Version()
{
    var x86Folderpath = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ProgramFilesX86);
    const string exeRelativepath = @"SDL\SDL Trados Studio\Studio4\SDLTradosStudio.exe";
    var exeFullpath = Path.Combine(x86Folderpath, exeRelativepath);
    var assembly = Assembly.LoadFrom(exeFullpath);
    var resourceManager = new ResourceManager("Sdl.TranslationStudio.Application.StringResources", assembly);
    var version = string.Format(resourceManager.GetString("Version"),
        $"- {FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(exeFullpath).FileVersion}");
    return version;
}
