Blog Post/Additional Information: How To Display the Build Date of a .NET Application

Samples:

• Assignment of GetReleaseDate() to a local variable

  DateTime? date = IntelliTect.Multitool.ReleaseDateAttribute.GetReleaseDate(); // Returns a datetime in UTC to date

• Displaying GetReleaseDate() on a cshtml page

  // This example is in cshtml. @IntelliTect.Multitool.ReleaseDateAttribute.GetReleaseDate() // Returns a datetime in UTC

• Converting and displaying GetReleaseDate() on a cshtml page

  // convert this UTC DateTime object into one for my local timezone that is formatted in a “d MMM, yyyy h:mm:ss tt” (ex: 8 Feb, 2023 11:36:31 AM). // The following code will format the date and convert it to my local time zone of Pacific Standard Time. Build: @if (IntelliTect.Multitool.ReleaseDateAttribute.GetReleaseDate() is DateTime date) { @TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTimeFromUtc(date, TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("Pacific Standard Time")).ToString("d MMM, yyyy h:mm:ss tt", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture) } // Result is "Build: 8 Feb, 2023 11:36:31 AM"
