Getting / setting file owner in C#

I searched the Internet but didn't found out how to get the File Creator/Owner In the FileInfo Class are only other Attributes like lastAccessTime, Size, but not the Owner/Creator.

Does somebody know the answer?


Solution

  • string user = System.IO.File.GetAccessControl(path).GetOwner(typeof(System.Security.Principal.NTAccount)).ToString();
    

    [EDIT] for newer .net versions, you will need to install System.IO.FileSystem.AccessControl
