Examples

The following example checks the file system for the specified file, creating the file if necessary, and then sets and gets the last write time of the file.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::IO;
int main()
{
   try
   {
      String^ path = "c:\\Temp\\MyTest.txt";
      if (  !File::Exists( path ) )
      {
         File::Create( path );
      }
      else
      {
         
         // Take an action that will affect the write time.
         File::SetLastWriteTime( path, DateTime(1985,4,3) );
      }
      
      // Get the creation time of a well-known directory.
      DateTime dt = File::GetLastWriteTime( path );
      Console::WriteLine( "The last write time for this file was {0}.", dt );
      
      // Update the last write time.
      File::SetLastWriteTime( path, DateTime::Now );
      dt = File::GetLastWriteTime( path );
      Console::WriteLine( "The last write time for this file was {0}.", dt );
   }
   catch ( Exception^ e ) 
   {
      Console::WriteLine( "The process failed: {0}", e );
   }
