c# - 在 C# 中检查文件的最后修改日期

Question

我正在寻找一种方法来查看最后一次在 C# 中修改文件的时间。我拥有该文件的完全访问权限。

Answer 1

System.IO.File.GetLastWriteTime是您所需要的。

Answer 2

您只需要File.GetLastWriteTime静态方法。

例子：

var lastModified = System.IO.File.GetLastWriteTime("C:\foo.bar");

Console.WriteLine(lastModified.ToString("dd/MM/yy HH:mm:ss"));

但是请注意，在极少数情况下，系统不会在写入文件时更新上次修改时间（这可能是为了优化高频写入，例如日志记录或作为错误而有意发生的），那么这种方法将失败，您将需要从系统订阅文件写入通知，并不断收听。

Answer 3

请注意，函数 File.GetLastWriteTime 并不总是按预期工作，操作系统有时不会立即更新这些值。您可能会得到一个旧的时间戳，即使该文件之前已被修改过。

该行为可能因操作系统版本而异。例如，这个单元测试每次在我的开发机器上运行良好，但在我们的构建服务器上总是失败。

  [TestMethod]
  public void TestLastModifiedTimeStamps()
  {
     var tempFile = Path.GetTempFileName();
     var lastModified = File.GetLastWriteTime(tempFile);
     using (new FileStream(tempFile, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.None))
     {

     }
     Assert.AreNotEqual(lastModified, File.GetLastWriteTime(tempFile));
  }

请参阅File.GetLastWriteTime 似乎正在返回“过期”值

您的选择：

a) 忍受偶尔的遗漏。

b) 构建一个实现观察者模式的活动组件（例如 tcp 服务器客户端结构），直接传达更改而不是写入/读取文件。快速且灵活，但另一种依赖性和可能的​​故障点（当然还有一些工作）。

c) 通过替换其他进程定期读取的专用信号文件的内容来确保信令进程。它不像轮询过程那么聪明，并且比调用 File.GetLastWriteTime 的开销更大，但如果不经常检查来自太多地方的内容，它会完成工作。

    private Stream GetFileStream(FileAccess fileAccess)
    {
        var i = 0;
        while (true)
        {
            try
            {
                return new FileStream(FilePath, FileMode.Create, fileAccess, FileShare.None);

                Thread.Sleep(SleepOnCollisionInterval);
            };
        };
    }

    private DateTime GetSignalTimeStamp()
    {
        if (!File.Exists(FilePath))
        {
            return DateTime.MinValue;
        }

            }
            using (var reader = new BinaryReader(stream))
            {
                return DateTime.FromBinary(reader.ReadInt64());
            };

    }

        LastSignal = DateTime.Now;
        using (var stream = new FileStream(FilePath, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.None))
        {
            using (var writer = new BinaryWriter(stream))
            {

        var signalTimestampChanged = LastSignal != signal;
        LastSignal = signal;
        return signalTimestampChanged;
    }
}

一些测试：

    [TestMethod]
    public void TestSignal()
    {
        var fileSignal = new FileSignal(Path.GetTempFileName());
        var fileSignal2 = new FileSignal(fileSignal.FilePath);
        Assert.IsFalse(fileSignal.CheckIfSignalled());
        Assert.IsFalse(fileSignal2.CheckIfSignalled());
        Assert.AreEqual(fileSignal.LastSignal, fileSignal2.LastSignal);
        fileSignal.Signal();
        Assert.IsFalse(fileSignal.CheckIfSignalled());
        Assert.AreNotEqual(fileSignal.LastSignal, fileSignal2.LastSignal);
        Assert.IsTrue(fileSignal2.CheckIfSignalled());
        Assert.AreEqual(fileSignal.LastSignal, fileSignal2.LastSignal);
        Assert.IsFalse(fileSignal2.CheckIfSignalled());
    }

Answer 4

只需使用File.GetLastWriteTime。该页面上有一个示例，显示了如何使用它。
