Find files in a folder by their last modified date

How to find older files in a folder

This is a way to find older files that for example, could be archived or deleted.

Use the System.IO.Directory class to find all files in a folder.

Then for each file, use the LastWriteTime property and compare to the current date to determine if the number of Days is greater than a certain time period.

Once the file is identified, process the file.

var strDirectory = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(strFullPath);

foreach (System.IO.FileInfo file in new System.IO.DirectoryInfo(strDirectory).GetFiles("*.*"))
{
  if ((DateTime.Now - file.LastWriteTime).Days >= 30)
  {
    // Do something with the file
  }
}
