Question

Our managers would like a tooltip on an icon that displays the build date of the app. I would like to have a variable that is assigned the correct value at build time so I don’t have to remember to change it every time I compile. Is there a way to do this in C#/.Net?

Answer 1

Try following line of code

DateTime buildDate = 
   new FileInfo(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location).LastWriteTime;
