<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Trying to find the most recent file with the following code:<br />
<br />
&nbsp;Dim FileList = New DirectoryInfo(SummaryDir).<wbr />GetFiles(F<wbr />in + &quot;*.xls&quot;).OrderByDescending<wbr />(Function(<wbr />x) x.CreationTime)<br />

Is there a way to avoid the for/next to obtain the last filename?

VB.Net - shortcut to obtaining most recent file

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented programming language implemented on the .NET framework, but also supported on other platforms such as Mono and Silverlight. Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,
