FileInfo.LastWriteTime should give you what you need:

System.IO.File.GetLastWriteTime(Request.PhysicalPath).ToString();

According to your comment on the other answer, you instead want to get the last modified time of any web-site (not your own ASP.NET page). You could use Net.HttpWebRequest to request a given URL to get the LastModified property of the HttpResponse:

Protected Sub GetLastModifiedTimeOfWebPage(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
    Dim url = Me.TxtURL.Text.Trim
    If Not url.StartsWith("http:") Then url = "http://" & url
    Dim ResponseStatus As System.Net.HttpStatusCode
    Dim lastModified As Date
    Try
        lastModified = RequestLastModified(url, ResponseStatus)
    Catch ex As System.Exception
        ' log and/or throw
        Throw
    End Try
    If ResponseStatus = Net.HttpStatusCode.OK Then
        Me.LblLastModified.Text = lastModified.ToString
    End If
End Sub

Public Shared Function RequestLastModified( _
    ByVal URL As String, _
    ByRef retStatus As Net.HttpStatusCode
) As Date
    Dim lastModified As Date = Date.MinValue
    Dim req As System.Net.HttpWebRequest
    Dim resp As System.Net.HttpWebResponse
    Try
        req = DirectCast(Net.HttpWebRequest.Create(New Uri(URL)), Net.HttpWebRequest)
        req.Method = "HEAD"
        resp = DirectCast(req.GetResponse(), Net.HttpWebResponse)
        retStatus = resp.StatusCode
        lastModified = resp.LastModified
    Catch ex As Exception
        Throw
    Finally
        If resp IsNot Nothing Then
            resp.Close()
        End If
    End Try

    Return lastModified
End Function

Note: Many sites lie with this property and return only the current time.

Check out this question

How can you mine the "Last Modified Date" for an ASP.NET page which is based on a Master Page?

the basic code you need is this

Dim strPath As String = Request.PhysicalPath
Label1.Text = "Modified: " + System.IO.File.GetLastWriteTime(strPath).ToString()
