I want to include the current time and date in a .net application so I can include it in the start up log to show the user what version they have. Is it possible to retrieve
The only way I know of doing this is somewhat convoluted -
You can have a pre-build event that runs a small application which generates the source code on the fly. An easy way to do this is to just overwrite a very small file that includes a class (or partial class) with the day/month/year hardcoded as a string constant.
If you set this to run as a pre-build event, it will rewrite that file before every build.
