Syntax

public DateTime CreationDateTime {get; set;}

Property Value

The date and time when the item was created.

Remarks

When changing the item's creation date through this property, the physical item is immediately modified if it exists. If it does not exist, the date is cached and will be applied whenever this item is created.

If HasCreationDateTime returns false, the getter returns System.DateTime.MinValue while the setter throws a FileSystemNotSupportedException.

Refresh should be called before accessing this property, or the information returned could be outdated.

Requirements

Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
