Answer 1

You can achieve it as follows using standard script task
1. Add a ForEachLoop container to point to your directory to iterate though the files. Add a variable of type string inside loop to get file name of each file it iterates. Choose option Filename and extension. Add a variable to just store extension part
(FileExtension), set EValuateAsExpression true for it and give expression as below
SUBSTRING(@[User::FileName],FINDSTRING(@[User::FileName],".",1)+1,LEN(@[User::FileName]))
2. Add a script task inside loop and pass filename variable as a read only variable to it. Crete a new variable to get creationdate and pass it as ReadWrite. Inside write code as below
Public Sub Main()
' Add your code here
Dim f As New System.IO.FileInfo(Dts.Variables("FileName").Value.ToString())
Dts.Variables("FileCreatedDate").Value = f.CreationTime
Dts.TaskResult = ScriptResults.Success
End Sub
3. Add a Exec SQL Task after Script task inside loop and give a query like below
INSERT INTO TableName (FileName,CreatedDate,Extension)
VALUES(?,?,?)
and in parameter tab map the parameter placeholders 0,1 and 2 to @[User::FileName],@[User::FileCreatedDate] & @[User::FileExtension] variables
