Error   3   Property or indexer 'System.Array.Length' cannot be assigned to -- it is read only  

Error   4   'System.IO.File' does not contain a definition for 'GetCreationtime'  

Error   5   'System.IO.File' does not contain a definition for 'GetLastAccesstime'  

using System;
using System.IO;
class DebugFourteen1
{
   static void Main()
   {
      string fileName;
      string directory;
      string path;
      string[] files;
      int x;
      Console.Write("Enter a directory ");
      directory = Console.ReadLine();
      if(Directory.exists(directory))

             }
             else
                 Console.WriteLine(" " + fileName + " does not exist in the " + directory + " directory");

Explanation / Answer

1)Error   1   'System.IO.Directory' does not contain a definition for 'exists'

E should be in Capitals and argument of Exists method has to be path

2)Cannot implicitly convert type 'int' to 'bool'  

if(files.Length = 0) should be changed to if(files.Length == 0)

3)Property or indexer 'System.Array.Length' cannot be assigned to -- it is read only  

same as 2

4)System.IO.File' does not contain a definition for 'GetCreationtime'  

Again it should be GetCreationTime

5) 'System.IO.File' does not contain a definition for 'GetLastAccesstime'  

should be GetLastAccessTime
