You could have a user control which display the BuildVersion of the farm, and show this within your MasterPage in the right place.

The BuildVersion property:

  • Thanks for your answer. But is there also a no code solution for this problem? like [Version] or something else? Commented May 10, 2011 at 8:19

    Nope, I don't think so. Commented May 10, 2011 at 12:00

    Yeah, don't think there is. The user control could be dead simple, though - your basic ASCX with something like this in: <% Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPFarm.Local.BuildVersion.ToString(); %> - no need for any assemblies, just the ASCX deployed to the CONTROLTEMPLATES directory (although I'm not yet sure how sandboxable this is).

    hmm, you might get trouble with permissions fetching farm properties with a regular user, so remember to test if this work without elevation. Commented May 10, 2011 at 12:43
