Folder Object
The Folder object is used to return information about the specified folder.
To operate the related properties and methods of the Folder object, you need to create an instance of the Folder object through the FileSystemObject object. First, create a FileSystemObject object, and then instantiate the Folder object through the GetFolder method of the FileSystemObject object.
The following code uses the GetFolder method of the FileSystemObject object to instantiate the Folder object, and uses the DateCreated property to return the creation date of the specified folder:
<%
Dim fs,fo
Set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set fo=fs.GetFolder("c:\test")
Response.Write("Folder created: " & fo .DateCreated)
set fo=nothing
set fs=nothing
%>
Output:
Folder created: 10/22/2008 10:01:19 AM
Dim fs,fo
Set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set fo=fs.GetFolder("c:\test")
Response.Write("Folder created: " & fo .DateCreated)
set fo=nothing
set fs=nothing
%>
Output:
Folder created: 10/22/2008 10:01:19 AM
