Build Date from ClickOnce Assembly?

Hi,

How can I knwo the BuildDate from an application distributed by ClickOnce?

When I use "System.IO.File.GetLastWriteTime(objAssembly.Location)" or
"System.IO.File.GetCreationTime(objAssembly.Location)" it returns me the
date and time that the user downloaded and isntaled the application, butn ot
the date it was published...


Thansk a lot in advance,

Pieter

PS: It should work also for .NET 1.1 applications...

Re: Build Date from ClickOnce Assembly?

Someone else could perhaps have a better solution but :
- my personal preference is to use the deployment version
- you also have the automatic versionaing that is based on the current
date/time. So either use this or convert it back to the date.

Finally googling gives me :

reading the build date from the PE file).

Thanks for the help!

Unfortunately I can't use the deployment version, because the applications
aren't alwaus deployed :-) I need this for a module that is used in
different applications, and need to knwo the build date of it's
parent-assembly. But this parent assembly can be 1.1, 2.0, deployed by
clickOnce, deployed 'normally', ...

I'll give the third solution a try...
