Terry,
As the others suggest, getting lines of code is going to be challenging, I
seriously question the usefulness of it in an about box.

Compile date & time would be useful, but I have not found a good method of
retrieving it. I've considered a custom attribute, however I'm not sure how
one would define said attribute, as one would need the value of the
attribute set at compile time. A pre-compile utility that initialized the
attribute value (ala the AssemblyVersion attribute) might be useful.

Generally I display a number of Assembly level attributes in my About Box,
including by not limited to:

Assembly.GetName().Name
Assembly.GetName().Version
AssemblyTitleAttribute.Title
AssemblyProductAttribute.Product ' product name
AssemblyInformationVersionAttribute.InformationalVersion ' product
version
AssemblyConfigurationAttribute.Configuration ' Debug/Release
AssemblyFileVersionAttribute.Version

In fact I display the above info for all loaded assemblies in a grid (ala
the VS about box) to see version info for class libraries...

A VS 2005 version (it uses Generics) of my AboutBoxForm is available as part
of the of my Xml Export Example at:

http://www.tsbradley.net/Samples/VSTO/Xml.Export.Sample.aspx

I hope to have a VS 2003 version as a recipe at the above site later this
week...

Not directly. I am curious why you don't want to set the labels' text at
runtime.

Herfried,

I think that at least beside Terry, Anand, Andrew, I (and when you reread
the question) you do that.

It can in some cases be handy.
