2. Retrieve build datetime of assembly

var asm = new AssemblyInfo(typeof(AssemblyInfo).Assembly);
Console.WriteLine($"AssemblyTitle:{asm.Title}");
Console.WriteLine($"Version:{asm.InformationalVersion} BuildTime:{asm.BuildTimestampLocal}; Framework:{asm.FrameworkName}");

The output:

AssemblyTitle:NetLah.Abstractions
Version:0.2.0-rc2.2 BuildTime:2021-11-08T21:26:28+08:00; Framework:.NETStandard,Version=v2.0

3. Or Retrieve build datetime of entry assembly

var appInfo = ApplicationInfo.Initialize(null);
Console.WriteLine($"AppTitle:{appInfo.Title}");
Console.WriteLine($"Version:{appInfo.InformationalVersion} BuildTime:{appInfo.BuildTimestampLocal};Framework:{appInfo.FrameworkName}");

Output:

AppTitle:SampleApp
Version:0.2.0-rc2.2 BuildTime:2021-11-08T21:26:56+08:00; Framework:.NETCoreApp,Version=v6.0
