Get file information

The following example shows you how to get information about a file: its size, content type, dates and ETag.

C# example

using System;
using System.Net;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Independentsoft.Webdav;

namespace Sample
{
    class Program
    {
        static async Task Main(string[] args)
        {
            NetworkCredential credential = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");

            using (WebdavClient client = new WebdavClient(credential))
            {
                client.BaseAddress = new Uri("https://myserver/dav/");

                ResourceInfo file = await client.GetResource("documents/report.pdf");

                Console.WriteLine("Name: " + file.Name);
                Console.WriteLine("Size: " + file.ContentLength);
                Console.WriteLine("Content type: " + file.ContentType);
                Console.WriteLine("Created: " + file.CreationDate);
                Console.WriteLine("Last modified: " + file.LastModified);
                Console.WriteLine("ETag: " + file.ETag);
            }
        }
    }
}

VB example

Imports System
Imports System.Net
Imports System.Threading.Tasks
Imports Independentsoft.Webdav

Namespace Sample
    Module Program
        Sub Main(args As String())
            RunAsync().GetAwaiter().GetResult()
        End Sub

        Private Async Function RunAsync() As Task
            Dim credential As New NetworkCredential("username", "password")

            Using client As New WebdavClient(credential)
                client.BaseAddress = New Uri("https://myserver/dav/")

                Dim info As ResourceInfo = Await client.GetResource("documents/report.pdf")

                Console.WriteLine("Name: " & info.Name)
                Console.WriteLine("Size: " & info.ContentLength)
                Console.WriteLine("Content type: " & info.ContentType)
                Console.WriteLine("Created: " & info.CreationDate.ToString())
                Console.WriteLine("Last modified: " & info.LastModified.ToString())
                Console.WriteLine("ETag: " & info.ETag)
            End Using
        End Function
    End Module
End Namespace
