Hi,

DirectoryInfo info = new DirectoryInfo(@"C:\ipub\root");
FileInfo[] files = info.GetFiles().OrderBy(p => p.CreationTime).ToArray();
foreach (FileInfo file in files)
{
DateTime creationTime = fileInfo.CreationTime;
DateTime lastWriteTime = fileInfo.LastWriteTime;
DateTime lastAccessTime = fileInfo.LastAccessTime;

MessageBox.Show("Time create : " + creationTime);
MessageBox.Show("Time Edit : " + lastWriteTime);
}

Thank you
