Getting the original files create date upon upload

Jon picture Jon · Jun 15, 2009 · Viewed 9.8k times · Source

We have a process in place that uploads files to our website. It has become important to the users to be able to see when those files were created. I'm looking for a way to extract the original create date from the HttpPostedFile. If anyone has an idea for me I'd really appreciate it (I'm a bit stumped at this point).

You don't have access to the date the file was created on the client. You can use Fiddler to validate this. I believe the only data you'll see being posted is the filename and the mime type.
