I am using VS.NET 2003 and C# to develop a Windows Forms application targeted
at Windows XP. I would like to automatically capture the build time and date
such that it can be displayed by the application, for example as part of the
About form.

Is there a way to configure VS.NET to capture this information and place it
in a variable or resource file such that it is available at runtime after
distribution?

Thanks,
Dave

Unfortunately, it seems as if there's no equivalent to C's __DATE__ and
__TIME__
