I’m sorry but I don’t have the time to test it now. If someone knows the answer, I would be thankful if he could answer it.

What TimeZone does the automatic versioning use? Does it use UTC, or local time zone, and does it consider daylight saving time? I would like to use your code to calculate exact time of compilation, and if it does not use UTC then I don’t think it is possible, since the application can run on computers with different time zone.

See the link below for a simple WPF-based utility that applies a similar algorithm in practice to make the conversion between version number and build date: http://pholpar.wordpress.com/2011/01/29/how-to-get-the-assembly-version-number-from-the-build-date-and-vice-versa/

Yes, thank you very much, I mixed up everything. I fixed it.

For .NET 2.0 this is solution:
DateTime date = new DateTime(2000, 01, 01). AddDays(version.Build).AddSeconds(version.Revision * 2);
