Answer 1

Something like the .LastAccessTime property of Delimon.Win32.IO.FileInfo, might do the trick.

Delimon is a library on Microsoft TechNet for overcoming the long filenames problem, it's called Delimon.Win32.I​O Library (V4.0) and it has its own versions of key classes from System.IO

For example, you would replace:

System.IO.Directory.GetFiles 

with

Delimon.Win32.IO.Directory.GetFiles

which will let you handle long files and folders.

From the website:

Delimon.Win32.IO replaces basic file functions of System.IO and supports File & Folder names up to up to 32,767 Characters.

This Library is written on .NET Framework 4.0 and can be used either on x86 & x64 systems. The File & Folder limitations of the standard System.IO namespace can work with files that have 260 characters in a filename and 240 characters in a folder name (MAX_PATH is usually configured as 260 characters). Typically you run into the System.IO.PathTooLongException Error with the Standard .NET Library.
