i get an error "System.Array does not contain a definition for LastWriteTime"

Question

I am having a problem with my c# code I can't seem to get my if statement to work I think it is trying to reference the wrong part of code for some reason. I have checked that I have all the right references in and all the right uses in. I have pasted the offending code bellow:

FolderBrowserDialog dlg2 = new FolderBrowserDialog();
if (dlg2.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
//do whatever with dlg.SelectedPath
{

    string searchPattern = "*";
    DirectoryInfo source = new DirectoryInfo(dlg.SelectedPath);
    DirectoryInfo target = new DirectoryInfo(dlg2.SelectedPath);

    DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(dlg.SelectedPath);
    FileInfo[] fi = dir.GetFiles("*", SearchOption.AllDirectories);
    {
        if (fi.LastWriteTime.Date == DateTime.Today.Date)
        {
            FileInfo[] sourceFiles = source.GetFiles(searchPattern, SearchOption.AllDirectories);
            for (int i = 0; i < sourceFiles.Length; ++i)
                File.Copy(sourceFiles[i].FullName, target.FullName + "\\" + sourceFiles[i].Name, true);
        }
    }

any help that could be given would be gratefully appreciated thanks.

What you want to do is probably this?

        FileInfo[] fis = dir.GetFiles("*", SearchOption.AllDirectories);
        foreach (FileInfo fi in fis)
        {
            if (fi.LastWriteTime.Date == DateTime.Today.Date)
            {
                FileInfo[] sourceFiles = source.GetFiles(searchPattern, SearchOption.AllDirectories);
                for (int i = 0; i < sourceFiles.Length; ++i)
                    File.Copy(sourceFiles[i].FullName, target.FullName + "\\" + sourceFiles[i].Name, true);
            }
        }
