Answer 1

GetLastWriteTime not always return reliable date time, use this

string selectedPath = comboBox1.SelectedItem.ToString();
DateTime now = DateTime.Now;
TimeSpan localOffset = now - now.ToUniversalTime();
DateTime lastdate = File.GetLastWriteTimeUtc(selectedPath) + localOffset;
datemodified.Text = lastdate.ToString();
