Creation time of a file

The following example gets the creation time of the specified file

C# .NET

public static String DoTest()
{
         string strRet = "";
         try
         {
                  string path = @"c:\MyFile.txt";
                  // Get the creation time of the file
                  if (!File.Exists(path))
                  {
                           // Create the file it does not exist.
                           StreamWriter sw = File.CreateText(path);
                           sw.Close();
                  }
                  DateTime dt = File.GetCreationTime(path);

                  // Give feedback to the user.
                  if (DateTime.Now.Subtract(dt).TotalDays > 364)
                  {
                           strRet += String.Format("The file " + path + " is over a year old.");
                  }
                  else if (DateTime.Now.Subtract(dt).TotalDays > 30)
                  {
                           strRet += String.Format("The file " + path + " is over a month old.");
                  }
                  else if (DateTime.Now.Subtract(dt).TotalDays <= 1)
                  {
                           strRet += String.Format("The file " + path + " is less than a day old.");
                  }

         catch (Exception e)
         {
                  strRet += String.Format("The process failed: {0}", e.ToString());
         }
