AVAssetMBS.creationDate as AVMetadataItemMBS

dim f as FolderItem = SpecialFolder.Desktop.Child("test.mov")
dim a as AVAssetMBS = AVAssetMBS.assetWithFile(f)

dim creationDate as date = a.creationDate.dateValue
MsgBox creationDate.LongDate + " " + creationDate.LongTime

The value of this property may be nil.

If a creation date has been stored by the asset in a form that can be converted to an Date object, the dateValue property of the metadata item will provide an instance of NSDate. Otherwise the creation date is available only as a string value, using the AVMetadataItem stringValue method.
