C# program to get last write time of file or directory

In this C# program, we will figure out how to get last compose time of a document or an index? To get this, we are utilizing ‘GetLastWriteTime()’ strategy for ‘Record’ class.

Given a record and an index and we need to locate their last compose time utilizing C# program.

File.GetLastWriteTime()

This is a technique for “Document class, it is utilized to get the last compose time of given record/index.

Syntax:

File.GetLastWriteTime(path);

Parameter(s):

path – Location of record or index.

Last compose time contains the accompanying point of interest:

• Date
• Month
• Year
• Hour
• Minute
• Second
• AM/PM

Program:

using System;
using System.IO;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            DateTime dt1;
            DateTime dt2;

            dt1 = File.GetLastWriteTime("ABC.TXT");
            Console.WriteLine("Last Write Time of file(ABC.TXT) : " + dt1);

            dt2 = File.GetLastWriteTime("mydir");
            Console.WriteLine("Last Write Time of directory(mydir) : " + dt2);
        }
    }
}

Output:

Last Write Time of file(ABC.TXT) : 10/31/2017 9:38:13 PM
Last Write Time of directory(mydir) : 10/31/2017 9:08:23 PM

Note: In the above program, we have to recall, when we use “Document” class, System.IO namespace must be remembered for the program.
