Question

Is it possible to get a datetime of a file which is located inside a folder…
the folder structure is like dotnet\build\portalFlexLib.swc

I need to get the datetime of portalFlexLib.swc without giving harcore value..

I have tried like this

            DateTime ftime = File.GetCreationTime(txtBoxInput.Text);

It give only the folder datetime…Any suggestion??

Maybe you could try with FileInfo class?

Fileinfo myFileInfo = new Fileinfo(@"C:\path\to\file");
DateTime ftime = myFileInfo.CreationTime;  

There’s the UTC version too;

Datetime ftime = myFileInfo.CreationTimeUtc;
