Changes in the System.IO Namespace

The System.IO.File and System.IO.Directory classes gain six new methods for handling file timestamps in UTC format: GetCreationTimeUtc , GetLastAccessTimeUtc , GetLastWriteTimeUtc , SetCreationTimeUtc , SetLastAccessTimeUtc and SetLastWriteTimeUtc .

The System.IO.FileInfo , System.IO.FileSystemInfo and System.IO.DirectoryInfo classes gain three new read/write properties: CreationTimeUtc , LastAccessTimeUtc and LastWriteTimeUtc .

The System.IO. Path .GetDirectoryName method now correctly returns the current folder for a path that ends with " \. " (a backslash and a single period), instead of returning the parent folder as it did In version 1.0.
