File upload date and Time

[Chris Strobel]

Is there a way using the Input Type=File and ASP.NET to keep the original
date and time stamp of files I'm uploading? If not, what about getting the
original date and time stamps and changing them after the file is uploaded
to the server?

Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,
You can use File.GetLastWriteTime to get the date and time the
specified file or directory was last written to.
In C# for eg:
string file_path=@"c:\test\yourfile.txt";
DateTime dt=File.GetLastWriteTime(file_path);

In VB.NET
Dim file_path As String = "c:\test\yourfile.txt"

Dim dt As DateTime = File.GetLastWriteTime(file_path)

If you want to set the last write time to
some date and time you want :
For Eg:
In C#
File.SetLastWriteTime(file_path, DateTime.Now);
In VB.NET
File.SetLastWriteTime(file_path, DateTime.Now)
This will update the last write time to the current
time.

Hope this helps.
