Some time the you need to find out the Latest Created or Last Modified file in a directory to do some operations. There are quite few ways to do that.

Here i am going to use the Dictionary and Ling Query to find the File names with there Last modified date and display to user for now.

You can use the below code & modified as required.



DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(@"C:\DotNet");
FileInfo [] fo = dir.GetFiles();
Dictionary fileInfo = new Dictionary();
foreach (FileInfo f in fo)
{
DateTime dt = f.LastAccessTimeUtc;
fileInfo.Add(f.Name, dt);
}

//With Dictionary
var result1 = from fileIn in fileInfo.Keys orderby fileInfo[fileIn] descending select fileIn;

//With Dictionary to get the Values and File Name.
foreach (var ele in result1)
{
MessageBox.Show(ele + " " + fileInfo[ele]);
}



Hope this will help you guys
