How does one reference the fields in an FTPFile object?

Question

Apologies if this is a stupid newbie question, but I've tried searching the examples, help files, and this forum, and I'm getting nowhere.

I get a list of files like this:

Dim detailedFileList() As FTPFile = ftpConn.GetFileInfos

But I can't figure out how to access any of the field values

Answer 1

Look at the properties, not the fields. The fields are protected or private.

e.g. see here

Answer 2

Well don't I feel like an idiot? I suppose I just got so fixated on working out how to retrieve the 'file

Answer 3

If you want to write a subclass, you need access to the protected members of the superclass.

Answer 4

Ah, that makes sense.

Well thank you very much for your help and I'm sorry to have troubled you with such a dumb question. :)
