You'll want to add a namespace reference in the global code tab for System.Linq, and you may need to include System.Linq.dll in the external references. Also, if you're using C#, I'd include System.Core.dll in the external references as well.

Hi, Karthik,

you may check the result of Get Files action from Utility - File Management VBO. Return collection gives you list of files with plenty of attributes and two of them are Last Access and Last Written which could be used for your purposes. Instead of writing your own code I strongly recommend to use standard VBO even though sometimes there is no other way than writing your own code :).

Regards,
