Convert String to file object

[EzehM]

I am trying to get file attributes or to be more specific the creation date of files stored in a string array.

This is my code
string[] dirs = Directory.GetFiles(dirToSearch, "*ack");
Console.WriteLine("The number of files starting with ack is {0}.", dirs.Length);
foreach (string dir in dirs)
{
Console.WriteLine(dir);
}

How can I get the creation date of the files that I am looping thru?

Thanks in advance

Use the System.IO.FileInfo class:

This does the trick

FileInfo fi = new FileInfo(dir);
Console.WriteLine("Creation time {0} ", fi.CreationTime);
