<p>I have a version resource in my resources in a C++ project which contains version number, copyright and build details.  Is there an easy way to access this at run-time to populate my <em>help/about</em> dialog as I am currently maintaining seperate const values of this information.  Ideally, the solution should work for Windows/CE mobile and earlier versions of Visual C++ (6.0 upwards).</p>

Something like this will give you raw access to the resource data and get you started:
```
```
HRSRC res = ::FindResource(NULL, MAKEINTRESOURCE(MY_VERSION_ID), RT_VERSION);
DWORD size = ::SizeofResource(NULL, res);
HGLOBAL mem = ::LoadResource(NULL, res);
LPVOID raw_data = ::LockResource(mem);
...
::FreeResource(mem);
```
```
