FileSystemProviderBase.GetLastWriteTime(FileManagerFile) Method

Override this method to implement getting the time of the last file modification.

Namespace: DevExpress.Web

Assembly: DevExpress.Web.v24.2.dll

Declaration

public virtual DateTime GetLastWriteTime(
    FileManagerFile file
)

Parameters

Name Type Description
file FileManagerFile

A FileManagerFile object that is the processed file.

Returns

Type Description
DateTime

A DateTime value that is the last write time.

Remarks

If you create a custom file system provider inherited from the FileSystemProviderBase class, you can override the GetLastWriteTime method to get the time of the last file modification.

Example

using DevExpress.Web.ASPxFileManager;
using System.IO;
public class LinqFileSystemProvider : FileSystemProviderBase {
    const int DbRootItemId = 1;
