Answer 1

In .NET CORE You will need to get the absolute path of the file. Add reference to Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting Inject that into your constructor The ContentRootPath property will be your web root.

Grab your server path

var Files = FIO.Directory.GetFiles("Unzipped");

This will be your actual path

var Path = string.Format(@"{0}\{1}",WebRootPath, Files[0]);

var CreationDate = File.GetLastWriteTime(Path);
