(cache) File Created Date

robertx · Mar 12th, 2007, 11:14 PM

If I delete my app's exe from the bin directory and rebuild it, why is the create date of the new exe not updated to today's date? It seems to retain the create date of the previous build. I am not mistaking the exes in the Release and Debug folders.

When you build I think that the existing file overwritten, so the modified date is changed but the created date isn't. The EXE that ends up in your bin\Debug folder is copied from the obj\Debug folder, so if you don't delete that then it's the same file being copied so it has the same created date.
