VS2010

Hi guys,i published a program using Clickonce, and I'm trying to get a date of when the .exe or .application is built/published in VS2010 on my computer, so that a client can see that date when they run the application on their computer.

But it seems during runtime the publish version info using the ApplicationDeployment class is working, but the date info from Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly() only works during debug, not in runtime.

Any suggestions how to get a date for the .exe/.application?

Or maybe a workaround of simply using the date of when the file was last written? please enlighten me
