Aspose::Words::Properties::DocumentProperty::ToDateTime method

DocumentProperty::ToDateTime method

Returns the property value as DateTime in UTC.

System::DateTime Aspose::Words::Properties::DocumentProperty::ToDateTime()

Remarks

Throws an exception if the property type is not DateTime.

Microsoft Word stores only the date part (no time) for custom date properties.

Examples

Shows how to create a custom document property which contains a date and time.

auto doc = MakeObject<Document>();

doc->get_CustomDocumentProperties()->Add(u"AuthorizationDate", System::DateTime::get_Now());

std::cout << "Document authorized on " << doc->get_CustomDocumentProperties()->idx_get(u"AuthorizationDate")->ToDateTime() << std::endl;

Shows various type conversion methods of custom document properties.

auto doc = MakeObject<Document>();
SharedPtr<CustomDocumentProperties> properties = doc->get_CustomDocumentProperties();

System::DateTime authDate = System::DateTime::get_Today();
properties->Add(u"Authorized", true);
properties->Add(u"Authorized By", String(u"John Doe"));
properties->Add(u"Authorized Date", authDate);
properties->Add(u"Authorized Revision", doc->get_BuiltInDocumentProperties()->get_RevisionNumber());
properties->Add(u"Authorized Amount", 123.45);

ASPOSE_ASSERT_EQ(true, properties->idx_get(u"Authorized")->ToBool());
ASSERT_EQ(u"John Doe", System::ObjectExt::ToString(properties->idx_get(u"Authorized By")));
ASSERT_EQ(authDate, properties->idx_get(u"Authorized Date")->ToDateTime());
ASSERT_EQ(1, properties->idx_get(u"Authorized Revision")->ToInt());
ASPOSE_ASSERT_EQ(123.45, properties->idx_get(u"Authorized Amount")->ToDouble());
