using System.IO;
namespace ConsoleApplication1

class Program
{
static void Main()
{
DateTime dt1;
DateTime dt2;
dt1 = File.GetLastAccessTimeUtc("ABC.TXT");
Console.WriteLine("Last Access Time of file(ABC.TXT) in UTC: " + dt1);
dt2 = File.GetLastAccessTimeUtc("mydir");
Console.WriteLine("Last Access Time of directory(mydir) in UTC : " + dt2);
