!!!!C# Sample Code:
  public static void SetFileTimes(IntPtr hFile, DateTime creationTime, DateTime accessTime, DateTime writeTime)
  {
	long lCreationTime	= creationTime.ToFileTime();
	long lAccessTime	= accessTime.ToFileTime();
	long lWriteTime		= writeTime.ToFileTime();

if(!SetFileTime(hFile, ref lCreationTime, ref lAccessTime, ref lWriteTime))
	{
		throw new Win32Exception();
