GetVersionNumber() As Integer

Returns the three most significant version number numbers of the BrightSign firmware running on the device in comparable numeric form: major*65536 + minor*256 + build

titleImportant

The return value for the GetVersionNumber() method does not include any additional version numbers after the first three: For example, firmware version 4.0.13.4 will be returned as 262157 (as if it were "4.0.13"). For this reason, we recommend using the GetVersion() or FirmwareIsAtLeast() methods to determine the current firmware version.

FirmwareIsAtLeast(version As String) As Boolean

Returns True if the BrightSign firmware version on the device is less than or equal to the version number represented by the passed string (e.g. "4.0.13").
