计算出模块文件的编译时间.(在编译项目之前应该手动修改vbproj文件中的Deterministic配置项的值为False来允许自动递增版本号的特性)

Get Compile date and time in application

Set up your Build and MinorRevision numbers to auto-increment, pull out the date created for by using the Version numbers from the version on the class.

1. Open AssemblyInfo.vb. You'll find it under the Properties folder in your solution.

Find the two lines that say "AssemblyVersion" and "AssemblyFileVersion" in them. Change them to:

 <assembly AssemblyVersion("1.0.*")>
 <assembly AssemblyFileVersion("1.0.*")>

Once you Do this, Visual Studio will automatically increment the last two values In the version.

2. The creation date can be found at runtime using the following algorithm:

 Dim version = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Version
 Dim creationDate = New DateTime(2000, 1, 1).AddDays(version.Build).AddSeconds(version.MinorRevision * 2)

CalculateCompileTime 的逆运算：根据编译时间反推对应的 Version 对象。 Build = 距离 2000-01-01 的天数；MinorRevision = 编译时刻距当日 00:00:00 的秒数 / 2（向下取整）。

还原出的 Version 对象；若 compileTime 为 Nothing 则返回 Nothing。
