Timely information

Here I am, at about 2 in the morning thinking about timely information. Take for example accessing a file's Version Information (Windows applications). The API is piss easy, it's jut a bit noxious. I wrote myself up a small class to extract this for my applications. The problem is that this code is to all intents obsolete - there is a class in .NET that covers it.
This is the two forked problem with the internet. When you have a problem, by the time you've either (a) solved it or (b) found the solution, the world has gone and passed you by. Almost depressing, I might add.
