Download files - how to check date created 1

[tembalena]

I'm needing to download an xml file (sometimes with .asp extension) but only if it's been updated since the last download. How do I check the file's lastwritetime or creationtime like one can do with a local file?

BTW, this is like a news feed, and it's a file either on an ftp server or normal web server. If anyone's got any examples on checking a file's datestamp on an ftp/web server, that'd be great. Thanks.

There is a new component in .net called FileSystemWatcher. This will do what you want. Check it out.
