Property Value
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.
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);
// Add the file attachment to this e-mail message.
message.Attachments.Add(data);
//Send the message.
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient(server);
// Add credentials if the SMTP server requires them.
client.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;
client.Send(message);
// Display the values in the ContentDisposition for the attachment.
ContentDisposition cd = data.ContentDisposition;
Console.WriteLine("Content disposition");
Console.WriteLine(cd.ToString());
Console.WriteLine("File {0}", cd.FileName);
Console.WriteLine("Size {0}", cd.Size);
Console.WriteLine("Creation {0}", cd.CreationDate);
Console.WriteLine("Modification {0}", cd.ModificationDate);
Console.WriteLine("Read {0}", cd.ReadDate);
Console.WriteLine("Inline {0}", cd.Inline);
Console.WriteLine("Parameters: {0}", cd.Parameters.Count);
foreach (DictionaryEntry d in cd.Parameters)
{
Console.WriteLine("{0} = {1}", d.Key, d.Value);
}
data.Dispose();
}
