Sorry, the article has removed from my comment the tags which the false value is used, the tag is ‘Deterministic’, to be added inside a ‘PropertyGroup’ tag.

A recent roadblock with the release of Visual Studio 15.4 is the change in default build parameters to use deterministic compilation. This means that the timestamp field in the assembly header no longer reflects the date or time of the build, invalidating this useful solution. This change can be overridden by adding false inside a element of the .csproj file, though this defeats the “progress” intended by the change in default behavior. I tried to implement an alternative by referencing a build variable in the assembly copyright attribute, but the tried and true $(Date) macro has disappeared from the build system and I ultimately failed to get something working.
