Trying to make a new dimension to file management interface. I want a situation where files that's are 1wk old should be in a folder, same goes with 2wk old in a different folder same goes with 3 while greater than 4weeks in another folder .. This is exactly what i mean in a datagridview.

*.Docx *.Pdf *.txt *.xls *.jpeg

< 1Week 3

2Week 5

3Week 1

> 4Week 2

NB: The numbers represent number of files(docx,pdf,txt,xls) that are present and how old they are.

So clicking on the numbers the user gets the details of all the files and other file details. Would really appreciate any help on this.

Thanks in advance.

I think there is a limitation with the fileinfo attributes where you can only get the creation date however I would:

Use DirectoryInfo to loop through the FileInfos in a folder checking the attributes
Use create/modified date comparing it to the current system date.
Use the extension property to manage the extension list adding a record to your collection when a new extension is needed or incrementing the count.

If you intend to move the files around according to their age you are in for a LOT of work. I would have folders for each week in the year (201109) for the 9th week in the yaer and move the files into that folder NEVER having to move them again. Age from the current date is a moving target.

Two things, blogspot is blocked by our net nazi and I have my own work to do.

Thanks for your response. But is there any other way you could help me with this? .

Sure when you have a specific coding problem post it in Q&A, someone generally will help. The idea that 1 person is going to get involved in your coding issues is just not the way it works.
