    DateTimeFilter
    In This Topic

    The DateTimeFilter class can be used to filter files and folder according to their dates. By default, if a specific type of date is not specified (last accessed, creation, etc.), the last write date is consulted.

    Demonstration

    Process all files that have a last write date between January 1st 1999 and January 1st 2001.

    VB.NET Copy Code

    Dim files As AbstractFile() = myFolder.GetFiles( True, _
                                          New DateTimeFilter( New System.DateTime( 1999, 01, 01 ), _
                                          New System.DateTime( 2001, 01, 01 ) ) )

    C# Copy Code

    AbstractFile[] files = myFolder.GetFiles( true,
                                        new DateTimeFilter( new System.DateTime( 1999, 01, 01 ),
                                        new System.DateTime( 2001, 01, 01 ) ) );

    Process all files that have a last accessed date between January 1st 1999 and January 1st 2001.

    VB.NET Copy Code

    Dim files As AbstractFile() = myFolder.GetFiles( True, _
                                       New DateTimeFilter( New System.DateTime( 1999, 01, 01 ), _
                                       New System.DateTime( 2001, 01, 01 ), _
                                       DateTimeFilter. ApplicableDateTimes.LastAccess ) )

    C# Copy Code

    AbstractFile[] files = myFolder.GetFiles( true,
                                              new DateTimeFilter( new System.DateTime( 1999, 01, 01 ),
                                              new System.DateTime( 2001, 01, 01 ),
                                              DateTimeFilter. ApplicableDateTimes.LastAccess ) );

    Things you should consider

    • Do you only want to target specific types of folder items? Use the FilterScope enumeration in the constructor of the DateTimeFilter class. 

    • Do you want to filter according to a specific type of date? Use the ApplicableDateTimes enumeration in the constructor of the DateTimeFilter class.
