You have to retrieve the values by using VerQueryValue prior to calling GetFileVersionInfoSize and GetFileVersionInfo. These are the keywords you could ask for with VerQueryValue:<br />
<br />
Comments <br />
InternalName <br />
ProductName <br />
CompanyName <br />
LegalCopyright <br />
ProductVersion <br />
FileDescription <br />
LegalTrademarks <br />
PrivateBuild <br />
FileVersion <br />
OriginalFilename <br />
SpecialBuild <br />
<br />
You can pass more than one key by separating with backslash \ .<br />
<br />
The output of VerQueryValue is an array of pointers of type void** and the pointers were pointing into the version info resource you have to provide as first argument. <br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
I have a program which is recovering various bits of information about files and folders by reading the VERSIONINFO using GetFileVersionInfo. &nbsp;While this works in the main, occasionally the string returned has non-printing characters as its last digit - most often 0x1 and 0x3. &nbsp;After scanning many thousands of files I found 3 which had corrupt strings.<br />
<br />
My problem is that I am writing this data to an XML file which becomes invalid with these non-printing characters.<br />
<br />
What I would like is a method by which I can remove these non-printing characters and/or format the string so that it will always be valid within an XML file. <br />
<br />
The CString::Trim functions don't seem to catch this and I have not been able to find an alternate method of doing this efficiently. &nbsp;Any suggestions?

Ensure CString has no non-printing characters before write to XML

Development in most programming languages is frequently done with an editor or integrated development environment (IDE). An IDE is a software application that provide comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development. An IDE normally consists of a source code editor, build automation tools and a debugger. XCode, Visual Studio, Adobe Dreamweaver and Eclipse are some of the more popular development tools, but an editor or IDE can be anything from simple text editors to sophisticated programs.
