Using Linq to Order directories by creation datetime
From Wiki
- Dim _Directories() As String
- Dim _Directory As String
- Dim _DirectoryInfos As New List(Of DirectoryInfo)
- _Directories = Directory.GetDirectories("c:/")
- For Each _Directory In _Directories
- Dim directoryinfo As System.IO.DirectoryInfo = New System.IO.DirectoryInfo(_Directory)
- _DirectoryInfos.Add(directoryinfo)
- Next
- ' Run LINQ Query
- Dim _DirectoryInfosOrderedByCreationTime = From DirectoryInfos In _DirectoryInfos _
- Order By DirectoryInfos.CreationTime Descending _
- Select DirectoryInfos
- ' Display results of query
- If _DirectoryInfosOrderedByCreationTime.Count > 0 Then
- For Each DirectoryInfo In _DirectoryInfosOrderedByCreationTime
- TextBox1.AppendText("Directory: " & DirectoryInfo.FullName & " Date: " & DirectoryInfo.CreationTime & ControlChars.CrLf)
- Next
- End If
And with a little help from a friend.
We got it down to this.
- Sub Main()
- ' Run LINQ query
- Dim directories = _
- From path In System.IO.Directory.GetDirectories("c:\") _
- Let directory = New System.IO.DirectoryInfo(path) _
- Order By directory.CreationTime Descending _
- Select directory
- ' Display results of query
- If directories.Count > 0 Then
- For Each directory In directories
- Console.WriteLine("Directory: " & directory.FullName & " Date: " & directory.CreationTime & ControlChars.CrLf)
- Next
- End If
- End Sub
