Answer 1

From: http://www.csharp-examples.net/file-creation-modification-time/

// local times
DateTime creationTime = File.GetCreationTime(@"c:\file.txt");
DateTime lastWriteTime = File.GetLastWriteTime(@"c:\file.txt");
DateTime lastAccessTime = File.GetLastAccessTime(@"c:\file.txt");

// UTC times
DateTime creationTimeUtc = File.GetCreationTimeUtc(@"c:\file.txt");
DateTime lastWriteTimeUtc = File.GetLastWriteTimeUtc(@"c:\file.txt");
DateTime lastAccessTimeUtc = File.GetLastAccessTimeUtc(@"c:\file.txt");

// write file last modification time (local / UTC)
Console.WriteLine(lastWriteTime);     // 9/30/2007 2:16:04 PM
Console.WriteLine(lastWriteTimeUtc);  // 9/30/2007 6:16:04 PM

See System.IO.FileInfo.

   var info = new FileInfo(@"C:\thefile.txt");    
   var created = info.CreationTime;    
   var modified = info.LastWriteTime;

using System;
using System.IO;

namespace getLastTimeStamp
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            FileInfo info = new FileInfo(@"C:\temp\getLastTimeStamp\Program.cs");

            Console.WriteLine(info.CreationTime.ToString());
            Console.WriteLine(info.LastWriteTime.ToString());

            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
