Development Application Architecture Visios Now Available C# - How to get Program Files (x86) on Vista

Thanks for the tip :-) I did have to make a small change to the code to get it to work:

result.AddDays(version.Build)

to

result = result.AddDays(version.Build)

result.AddSeconds(version.Revision * 2)

to

result = result.AddSeconds(version.Revision * 2)

This post was very helpful, thanks for posting it. I did this in Silverlight and as such didn't have access to TimeZone. Here's how I did it in case anyone is trying to do this in Silverlight/C#:

private DateTime BuildDate()

{

   DateTime date = new DateTime(2000, 1, 1);

   string[] parts = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().FullName.Split(',');

   string[] versionParts = parts[1].Split('.');

   date = date.AddDays(Int32.Parse(versionParts[2]));

   date = date.AddSeconds(Int32.Parse(versionParts[3]) * 2);

   if (System.TimeZoneInfo.Local.IsDaylightSavingTime(date))

   {

       date = date.AddHours(1);

   }

   return date;

}

Thanks for the algorithm! See the link below for a simple WPF-based utility that applies it in practice to make the conversion between version number and build date: pholpar.wordpress.com/.../how-to-get-the-assembly-version-number-from-the-build-date-and-vice-versa

Hi,

thank you for good idea, better than AddHour(1) would be:

DaylightTime dlt = TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone.GetDaylightChanges(result.Year);

if (TimeZone.IsDaylightSavingTime(built, dlt)) result= result.Add(dlt.Delta);

Thanks for the effort.  You made it easier for me.  Even 9 years later.
