see System.IO.File.SetCreationTime() function

<div>
example :<br />
System.IO.File.SetCreation<wbr />Time(@&quot;C:\<wbr />New File.txt&quot;, DateTime.Now);
</div>


example :
System.IO.File.SetCreationTime(@"C:\New File.txt", DateTime.Now);

<div>
It looks fine, and it compiles. &nbsp;But it doesn't work. &nbsp;Neither the file time nor date changes. &nbsp; And I close Windows Explorer first. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Any ideas?<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Hi,<br />
<br />
Back when I used Borland compilers, I used a function called, &quot;touch( filename, datetime )&quot;, which would set the time and date of the file specified.<br />
<br />
Does anybody know the equivalent in C#?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Setting the date and time for a file

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
