How can you get the date modified for a windows 8 file?

getting data created for a file is easy

StorageFile myFile = await storageFolder.GetFileAsync("myfile");
var dateCreated = myFile.DateCreated;

but there is no corresponding myFile.DateModified.

is there anyway to get the data modified property ?

(await file.GetBasicPropertiesAsync()).DateModified does the same thing

I could not get BasicProperties, this may have been removed in RP. My solution was the convoluted 

var check = new list<string>(); 
check.Add("System.DateModified"); 
var props = await myFile.Properties.RetrievePropertiesAsync(check); 
var dateModified = props.SingleOrDefault().Value;

phew, that was hard work

According to Ari Polski "You can get date modified through the BasicProperties"
