Question

I have a gridview that looks something like this:

<TemplateColumn>
   <ItemTemplate>
      <a href='<%#Eval("FilePathUrl")%>'>FileName</a>
   </ItemTemplate>
   <ItemTemplate>
      <a href='<%#Eval(sysUtilities.GetFilePath("FilePathLocation") & "FilePathUrl")%>'>FileDateTime</a>
   </ItemTemplate>
</TemplateColumn>

The file is located at sysUtilities.GetFilePath("FilePathLocation")

sysUtilities is a class in the App_Code folder
GetFilePath is method

I need help with the syntax
How can I display the file’s date time created in the gridView (by that I mean what is the correct syntax for):

<a href='<%#Eval(sysUtilities.GetFilePath("FilePathLocation") & "FilePathUrl")%>'>FileDateTime</a>

Answer 1

try this:

<ItemTemplate>
                      <a href='<%#Eval(sysUtilities.GetFilePath("FilePathLocation") & "FilePathUrl")%>'>
                        <%#System.IO.File.GetCreationTime(sysUtilities.GetFilePath("FilePathLocation") & Eval("FilePathUrl").ToString())%>
                      </a>
                   </ItemTemplate>
