Add build date (VS 2010 - C++)

Recently I built a game in XNA and in the AssemblyInfo source file I could set AssemblyVersion to x.x.* and it would set the build and revision to the date and time the project was compiled on. I am now doing a project in C++ and I am wondering how I can duplicate that functionality. Both so that the exe file displays that version and a way I can get it programmatically. Thanks.

Add DATE macro is a good solution I believe.

The compilation date of the current source file. The date is a string literal of the form Mmm dd yyyy. The month name Mmm is the same as for dates generated by the library function asctime declared in TIME.H.

You can use the __DATE__ and __TIME__ macros.
