File Dates - Wrong date returned

[Juan Romero]

Guys,

I am reading file information from disk using the System.IO.File object.

This is what the operating system is displaying on Explorer:
File Name Modified
====================================
File1.ext 6/19/2003 1:05 PM
File2.ext 6/14/2000 12:46 PM

This is what my program reads:
File Name Modified
====================================
File1.ext 12/7/1999 7:00:00 AM
File2.ext 9/19/2001 1:50:25 PM

It reads wrong dates (and the same) with all 3 methods:
File.GetCreationTime(FilePath)
File.GetLastAccessTime(FilePath)
File.GetLastWriteTime(FilePath)
(All 3 methods return the same date)

What am I doing wrong????

Is there any work I have to do on the dates to get this to work?
I am Eastern Time Zone by the way.

Thanks!

Hi, Juan

Post a piece of code which you use to obtain modification timestamp from
file and to print it. Either something is not right there, either you are
getting wrong files (another directory maybe?).
