VB.Net- How to get most recently created files in folder/How to get 10 most recent files from folder

'Newest first, oldest last
Dim filesByCreateDate = New DirectoryInfo("Folder to Search").GetFiles().OrderByDescending(Function(fi) fi.CreationTime).Take(10).ToArray

'Newest File
Dim newestFile = New DirectoryInfo("Folder to Search").GetFiles().OrderByDescending(Function(fi) fi.CreationTime).First

'Oldest File
Dim oldestFile = New DirectoryInfo("Folder to Search").GetFiles().OrderBy(Function(fi) fi.CreationTime).First
