C# Program to get the last access time of a file

To get the last access time of a file in C#, use the LastAccessTime() method.

For this, use the FileInfo as well as DateTime classes.Create an object of each −

FileInfo file = new FileInfo("new.txt");
DateTime dt = file.CreationTime;
dt = file.LastAccessTime;

Let us see the complete code −

      }
      FileInfo file = new FileInfo("quiz.txt");
      // last access time
      DateTime dt = file.LastAccessTime;
