Gets or sets the creation date for a file attachment.
public:
property DateTime CreationDate { DateTime get(); void set(DateTime value); };
public DateTime CreationDate { get; set; }
member this.CreationDate : DateTime with get, set
Public Property CreationDate As DateTime
A DateTime value that indicates the file creation date; otherwise, DateTime.MinValue if no date was specified.
The following code example demonstrates how to set this property.
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 = L"data.xls";
// Create a message and set up the recipients.
MailMessage^ message = gcnew MailMessage( L"jane@contoso.com",L"ben@contoso.com",L"Quarterly data report.",L"See the attached spreadsheet." );
// Create the file attachment for this email message.
Attachment^ data = gcnew 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 email message.
message->Attachments->Add( data );
//Send the message.
SmtpClient^ client = gcnew 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( L"Content disposition" );
Console::WriteLine( cd );
Console::WriteLine( L"File {0}", cd->FileName );
Console::WriteLine( L"Size {0}", cd->Size );
Console::WriteLine( L"Creation {0}", cd->CreationDate );

Console::WriteLine( L"Read {0}", cd->ReadDate );
Console::WriteLine( L"Inline {0}", cd->Inline );
Console::WriteLine( L"Parameters: {0}", cd->Parameters->Count );
IEnumerator^ myEnum1 = cd->Parameters->GetEnumerator();
while ( myEnum1->MoveNext() )
{
DictionaryEntry^ d = safe_cast<DictionaryEntry^>(myEnum1->Current);
Console::WriteLine( L"{0} = {1}", d->Key, d->Value );
}
data->~Attachment();
client->~SmtpClient();

The CreationDate property is used to send time stamp information with a file being sent in an email message. This value sets the Creation-Date parameter in the Content-Disposition header sent with the email.
The MailMessage class is used to compose an email message. The Attachment class is used to attach a file to an email message. To set CreationDate, get the ContentDisposition for the attachment from the Attachment.ContentDisposition property.
The Content-Disposition header is described in RFC 2183 available at https://www.ietf.org.
