A value of January 01, 2050, indicates that an instance of the ScheduledItem class is no longer visible on the published site. If the end date is set to this value, the property is displayed by using the string "Never" in the corresponding user interfaces.

To save changes after setting this property, call the ScheduledItem.ListItem.Update method.

The date and time returned by this property can be converted from UTC to local time in server-side code by using SPRegionalSettings.TimeZone.UTCToLocalTime(DateTime) method.

The user must have edit permissions on the PublishingPage to set this value. The user must have view permissions on the PublishingPage to initially retrieve it and get any of its property values.

Examples

This sample sets a start and end date for a ScheduledItem object and schedules the item so that it is published when the start date is reached and it is unpublished when the end date is reached.

Before compiling and running this sample, verify that the SPListItem is a list item in a document library that supports scheduling.

using ScheduledItem = Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.ScheduledItem;
using SPModerationStatusType = Microsoft.SharePoint.SPModerationStatusType;
using SPListItem = Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListItem;

            // your own values.

            // validate the input parameters
            if (null == listItem)
