.NET Framework Class Library
ContentDisposition..::.ModificationDate Property

Gets or sets the modification date for a file attachment.

Namespace:  System.Net.Mime
Assembly:  System (in System.dll)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Property ModificationDate As DateTime
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim instance As ContentDisposition
Dim value As DateTime

value = instance.ModificationDate

instance.ModificationDate = value
C#
public DateTime ModificationDate { get; set; }
Visual C++
public:
property DateTime ModificationDate {
    DateTime get ();
    void set (DateTime value);
}
JScript
public function get ModificationDate () : DateTime
public function set ModificationDate (value : DateTime)

Property Value

Type: System..::.DateTime
A DateTime value that indicates the file modification date; otherwise, MinValue if no date was specified.

The ModificationDate property is used to send time stamp information with a file being sent in an e-mail message. This value sets the Modification-Date parameter in the Content-Disposition header sent with the e-mail message.

The MailMessage class is used to compose an e-mail message. The Attachment class is used to attach a file to an e-mail message. To set the ModificationDate property, get the ContentDisposition for the attachment using the Attachment..::.ContentDisposition property.

The Content-Disposition header is described in RFC 2183 available at http://www.ietf.org.

The following code example demonstrates how to set this property.

C#
        public static void CreateMessageWithAttachment(string server)
        {
            // Specify the file to be attached and sent.
            // This example assumes that a file named Data.xls exists in the
            // current working directory.
            string file = "data.xls";
            // Create a message and set up the recipients.
            MailMessage message = new MailMessage(
               "jane@contoso.com",
               "ben@contoso.com",
               "Quarterly data report.",
               "See the attached spreadsheet.");

            // Create  the file attachment for this e-mail message.
            Attachment data = new Attachment(file, MediaTypeNames.Application.Octet);
            // Add time stamp information for the file.
            ContentDisposition disposition = data.ContentDisposition;
            disposition.CreationDate = System.IO.File.GetCreationTime(file);
            disposition.ModificationDate = System.IO.File.GetLastWriteTime(file);
            disposition.ReadDate = System.IO.File.GetLastAccessTime(file);
