Parameters

fileHandle
SafeFileHandle

Returns the date and time the specified file or directory was last written to.

public:
 static DateTime GetLastWriteTime(System::String ^ path);
public static DateTime GetLastWriteTime (string path);
static member GetLastWriteTime : string -> DateTime
Public Shared Function GetLastWriteTime (path As String) As DateTime

Parameters

path
String

The file or directory for which to obtain write date and time information.

Returns

A DateTime structure set to the date and time that the specified file or directory was last written to. This value is expressed in local time.

Exceptions

The caller does not have the required permission.

.NET Framework and .NET Core versions older than 2.1: path is a zero-length string, contains only white space, or contains one or more invalid characters. You can query for invalid characters by using the GetInvalidPathChars() method.

path is null.

The specified path, file name, or both exceed the system-defined maximum length.

path is in an invalid format.

Examples

The following example demonstrates GetLastWriteTime.

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 );
   }

Remarks

Note

This method may return an inaccurate value, because it uses native functions whose values may not be continuously updated by the operating system. Each operating system manages the last write time according to its own rules. To improve performance, an operating system might not set the last write time value to the exact time of the last write operation, but might set it to a close approximation instead.

If the file described in the path parameter does not exist, this method returns 12:00 midnight, January 1, 1601 A.D. (C.E.) Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), adjusted to local time.

The path parameter is permitted to specify relative or absolute path information. Relative path information is interpreted as relative to the current working directory. To obtain the current working directory, see GetCurrentDirectory.
