Question

I have a AsyncFileupload control on .aspx page where I am uploading an image. I am extracting very basic file information such as date created/accessed.

For every single file, the code gives me one static value that is

01/01/1601 00:00:00

Which obviously cannot be right. I am sure that there is a conversion is done automatically behind.

How can I convert it into actual value AND convert it back into CYYMMDD format (i want this particular format in bd)?
Thanks

on UploadedComplete i run this code

 string savePath = MapPath("~/" + Path.GetFileName(e.FileName));

 FileInfo MyFileInfo = new FileInfo(savePath);

 txt_Textbox1.Text = MyFileInfo.CreationTime.ToString();

this always gives me following output, regardless the actual date is today’s date

01/01/1601 00:00:00

How can i convert it into its original creation date?

Answer 1

Make sure that MyFileInfo.Exists is true before you use other properties of FileInfo variable.

I’m sure in your case the MyFileInfo.Exists is false. That’s the reason you’ll get those values for the properties like CreationTime, LastAccessTime, LastWriteTime etc.
