Sorting Files by Name, Date, FileSize etc (C#)

It is simple to get a list of files in .NET, you simply do: string folder = "c:\\windows\\"; string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(folder); This will get all the files in C:\Windows (does not include subdirectories). However, they are sorted by name (A-Z) and there aren't any options in the GetFiles method to return them in any other order. Luckily, the results are returned as an array and they can be sorted with a custom comparer. I have created a FileComparer class that can be used to sort the files (works in both .NET 1.1 and 2.0): public class FileComparer : IComparer { public enum CompareBy { Name /* a-z */, LastWriteTime /* oldest to newest */, CreationTime /* oldest to newest */, LastAccessTime /* oldest to newest */, FileSize /* smallest first */ } // default comparison int _CompareBy = (int)CompareBy.Name; public FileComparer() { } public FileComparer(CompareBy compareBy) { _CompareBy = (int)compareBy; } int IComparer.Compare( obj...

Update (08 July 2009) : Check file extension is CSS. CssCompact is a simple WebHandler for sending smaller CSS files to the client. It simply removes linebreaks, tabs, spaces (before CSS properties) and comments. That way you can still have your commented CSS code, and also save bandwidth.
