Hi, friends,

I use the following C# code to find out date/time for all files in a
directory: (Those files are retrieved from VSS).

VSS_Item.Get(ref tempFile, (int) SourceSafeTypeLib.VSSFlags.VSSFLAG_TIMEMOD);
if (File.Exists(tempFile))
FileDate = File.GetLastWriteTime(tempFile).ToString();

However, some of FileDate values are the same as shown in window Exploer and
VSS, some of them are 1 hour later.

Could anyone show me why and how to correct this?

Thanks a lot.

I don't know how to it in C#.
But in plain C with WinApi.
I do the following.

GetFileTime(...); // retreives FILETIME sructurces
FileTimeToLocalFileTime(...); // converts from Coordinated Universal Time to
local
FileTimeToSystemTime(...); // converts from FILETIME to SYSTEMTIME struc.

SYSTEMTIME is somehow in YYMMDD HHMMSS structure

Hope it will help !
