directories

Currently my application uses string[] subdirs = Directory.GetDirectories(path) to get the list of subdirectories, and now I want to extract the path to the latest (last modified) subdirectory in the list.

What is the easiest way to accomplish this? (efficiency is not a major concern - but robustness is)

In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More
