Hi, I have a windows service monitoring a directory for files, which
works fine. The problem I have is when I pick up a file, it needs to be
the oldest file first.

Anyone any idea how to do this?

Regards,

Steven

I can recommend You to write class with IComparer implementation
(objects of FileInfo class) with LastWriteTime or CreationTime as
comparation items.
Then if you get all files from directory e.g. by
DirectoryInfo.GetFiles[] then you can easily sort them
with Array.Sort(Array, IComparer).

Cheers!
