I have a folder/directory that contains some sub directories.
Only those sub folders contain files.
I have to get the full path of last created files in each sub folder.
Only the last created file in each sub folder is needed.
How can I do this? How can I use linq to files stem for this
Something like this would work:
DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(@"C:\SomeFolder");
var recentFiles = di.GetDirectories()
.Select(x=>x.EnumerateFiles()
.OrderByDescending(f=> f.CreationTimeUtc)
.FirstOrDefault())
.Where(x=> x!=null)
.Select(x=>x.FullName)
.ToList();
One thing to be mindful of is the permissions you need to traverse some protected directories, this shouldn't be a problem for most cases though.
