Issue Details

LabVIEW File/Directory Info function only returns the last modified date and time of a file. How to acquire the creation or last accessed time of a file as shown in the Windows's file properties box?

Solution

LabVIEW built-in File/Directory Info function only returns the last modified date. To get the creation date or last accessed date of a file, you will need to call FileInfo class in Windows's mscorlib.dll library and get the return value of CreationTimeUtc or LastAccessTimeUtc. Refer to the Related Links section for FileInfo class documentation.
