I would like to access a piece of file information from an embedded resource file (in this case, the Last Modified Date) without having to save it to a temp file on the disk first. Is this possible?
There was already one other topic asking a similar question (goto topic) from a couple of years ago, but there was only one answer (NO) and I was hoping that someone would know of a way to do it at this point.
Thanks!
The original answer remains correct. When you add a file as a resource the contents of the file are stored, not the metadata (wich is stored in the file system tables).
You could add a string resource and manually populate that data before you compile.
