Funciona en la mayoría de los casos, pero si intenta usarlo en la solución VSTO (por ejemplo, complemento de Excel), siempre obtendrá la fecha de hoy porque los archivos de ensamblaje se copian en la carpeta AppData \ Local \ assembly antes de ejecutar el complemento dentro de Excel – surfen
Tampoco funciona si lo copias en una red para descargarlo de ftp, etc. –
Para ser sincero, creo que la solución de Jeff Atwood, escrita por granada en este hilo, es probablemente la mejor manera de hacerlo ahora. –
