File's last modified time not changing

I have written the following code in a Timer's Tick event to checking if the file modification time of an image has changed then copy that image and save it to another directory. Sometimes GetLastWrittenTime() doesn't change even though the file has already been overwritten.
if (File.Exists(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData) + "\\CaptureMerge.bmp"))
{
DateTime filetime=File.GetLastWriteTime(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData) + "\\CaptureMerge.bmp");
if (!filetime.Equals(lastmMdifiedTime))
{
if (txtkapan.Text != "" && txtlot.Text != "")
{
if (reg.Read("AUTOPATH") == null || reg.Read("AUTOPATH").Equals(""))
{
Directory.CreateDirectory("D:\\" + txtkapan.Text + "\\" + txtlot.Text);
}
else
{
Directory.CreateDirectory(reg.Read("AUTOPATH")+"\\" + txtkapan.Text + "\\" + txtlot.Text);
}
string image_name;
if (txtlot.Text.Length <= 3 || txtparty.Text.Length <= 3 || txtkapan.Text.Length <= 3)
{
image_name = txtparty.Text.Substring(0, txtparty.Text.Length) + "_" + txtkapan.Text.Substring(0, txtkapan.Text.Length) + "_" + txtlot.Text.Substring(0, txtlot.Text.Length) + "_" + DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd_HH_mm") + ".jpg";
}
else
{
image_name = txtparty.Text.Substring(0, 3) + "_" + txtkapan.Text.Substring(0, 3) + "_" + txtlot.Text.Substring(0, 3) + "_" + DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd_HH_mm") + ".jpg";
}
try
{
System.Drawing.Image img = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData) + "\\CaptureMerge.bmp");
img.Save(reg.Read("AUTOPATH") + "\\" + txtkapan.Text + "\\" + txtlot.Text + "\\" + image_name, ImageFormat.Jpeg);
lastmMdifiedTime = File.GetLastWriteTime(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData) + "\\CaptureMerge.bmp");

Please tell me what is wrong in my code.

write label from StringBuilder to .doc file aspx.net

I need help here.I don't know how to tell to labels from different stringBuilder to go on different .doc files.In my if() statements in need to tell to write labels from first stringBuilder and in another if() statement should write labels from another stingBuilder in another .doc file. Below is my code:
StringBuilder strBody = new StringBuilder();
StringBuilder strBody1 = new StringBuilder();
strBody.Append(#"<html " +
"xmlns:o='urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office' " +
"xmlns:w='urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word'" +
"xmlns='http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40'>" +
"<head><title>Time</title>");
strBody1.Append(#"<html " +
"xmlns:o='urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office' " +
"xmlns:w='urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word'" +
"xmlns='http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40'>" +
"<head><title>Time</title>");
strBody.Append("<body lang=EN-US style='tab-interval:.5in'>" +
"<p style='color:red; font-size:13px'>" +
Label47.Text +"<br/>" +
Label45.Text +"X "+
Label48.Text +" " +
Label54.Text +"</p>" +
"</div></body></html>").Append(strBody1.ToString());
strBody1.Append("<body lang=EN-US style='tab-interval:.5in'>" +
"<p style='color:red; font-size:13px'>" +
Label12.Text +"<br/>" +
Label11.Text +"X "+
Label13.Text +" " +
Label17.Text +"</p>" +
"</div></body></html>");
if (Session["one"] != null && Session["two"] != null && Session["three"] != null)
{
{
string path = #"c:\Backup\kitchen.doc";
string path2 = #"c:\Backup\bar.doc";
if (!File.Exists(path) && !File.Exists(path2))
{
using (StreamWriter sw = File.CreateText(path))
{
using (StreamWriter sw2 = File.CreateText(path2))
{
if (Label53.Text == "4")
{
sw.WriteLine(strBody);
}
else if (Label53.Text == "1")
{
sw2.WriteLine(strBody);
if (Label44.Text == "4")
{
sw.WriteLine(strBody1);
}
else if (Label44.Text == "1")
{
sw2.WriteLine(strBody1);
}
}

I think there is a missing closing } in your if conditions. The
else if (Label53.Text == "1")
did not have a closing }
Updated if conditions
if (Label53.Text == "4")
{
sw.WriteLine(strBody);
}
else if (Label53.Text == "1")
{
sw2.WriteLine(strBody);
}
if (Label44.Text == "4")
{
sw.WriteLine(strBody1);
}
else if (Label44.Text == "1")
{
sw2.WriteLine(strBody1);
}

But I can't find the error in my code since it worked when typed manually into the powershell on the host and .Save() takes no arguments. Do you have any idea?

OK, Instead of
command2 = command2 + string.Format(" ${1} = $shell.CreateShortcut(\"C:\\ClusterStorage\\Volume2\\test.lnk\"); ${1}.TargetPath = \"{0}\\_VMBackup\\{2}\\{1}\"; ${1}.Save();", backupDir, vm.Name, date);
Try
command2 = command2 + string.Format(" $shortc = $shell.CreateShortcut(\"C:\\ClusterStorage\\Volume2\\test.lnk\"); $shortc.TargetPath = \"{0}\\_VMBackup\\{2}\\{1}\"; $shortc.Save();", backupDir, vm.Name, date);
command2 = "'" + command2 + "'"
This did not work and neither did a lot of other things.
Basically, the problem is the way the command string is passed to PowerShell to execute.
PowerShell will examine the sting and attempt to enumerate all variables. This is not the desired behaviour. Tried to enclose the entire string in single quotes, however this did not help.
In the end the solution was to use the PowerShell escape character “`” to mask all variable names.
command2 = command2 + string.Format(" `$shortc = `$shell.CreateShortcut(\"C:\\ClusterStorage\\Volume2\\test.lnk\"); `$shortc.TargetPath = \"{0}\\_VMBackup\\{2}\\{1}\"; `$shortc.Save();", backupDir, vm.Name, date);
