detailed file information (not icon) using shell32 pinvoke

[Guest]

I've seen many examples of how to call SHGetFileInfo in shell32.dll to get a
files associated icon, but I can't find anywhere how to get the file
information (size, last date modified, etc, etc) out of shell32 using pinvoke.

I have however seen how to get this information using COM:
Shell32.Shell shell = new Shell32.ShellClass();
Shell32.Folder folder = shell.NameSpace("C:\\");
Shell32.FolderItem folderItem = folder.ParseName("test.doc");

but can you get this using pinvoke? If not, is it bad to use both COM and
pinvoke at the same time?

The File and FileInfo classes in the System.IO namespace can provide
that information. No P/Invoking needed.

Incidentally check out pinvoke.net anytime you have doubts about whether or
not to use a dll export. They have a very neat VS add-in too.
