MIME CurrentDateTime Property

See more MIME Examples

Demonstrates the read-only CurrentDateTime property, which returns the current local date and time formatted as an Internet message date including the numeric UTC offset. The example uses it to populate a Date header field.

bool success = false;

Chilkat.Mime mime = new Chilkat.Mime();
success = mime.SetBodyFromPlainText("Message with a Date header.");
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(mime.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  CurrentDateTime returns the current local date and time formatted as an Internet message date,
//  including the numeric UTC offset, for example: Fri, 21 Nov 1997 09:55:06 -0600
string now = mime.CurrentDateTime;
Debug.WriteLine("Current date/time: " + now);

//  It can be used to populate a Date header field.
mime.SetHeaderField("Date",now);

string head = mime.GetEntireHead();
if (mime.LastMethodSuccess == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(mime.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

Debug.WriteLine(head);
