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

Answer 1

You could update the Assembly version in AssemblyInfo.cs as part of your build. Then you could do something like this

FileVersionInfo lvar = FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(FileName);

FileVersionInfo has the information (build/version,etc) that you looking for. See if this works out for you.
