Question

I’m building a web part for SharePoint 2010 and I would like to know how to get the user that created a certain folder (SPFolder). I was able to get the doc libs creator, web, etc, but I had no luck with folders.

Any help will be appreciated.

Answer 1

Try the Item property.

SPFieldUserValue createdBy = 
    new SPFieldUserValue(web, folder.Item[SPBuiltInFieldId.Author].ToString());
