Item.fetchFileProperty()

The function fetchFileProperty()takes in 3 parameters; property, file path, and mode. It returns Item of type File.

• Property – The property of type file for which you want to download the file

• Target path – The file path on the file system where to place the file

  • A file name can be specified as to change the name of the file

    i.e., C:\ArasTest\MyNewFileName.txt
    

• Mode – The mode of operation for checkout

  • FetchFileMode.Normal - In this mode, method performs file downloading to a defined target path. The return item has the checkedout_path property set to the value of the path where the file is downloaded.
  • FetchFileMode.Dry - In this mode, the method performs a “dry” run without downloading the physical file but checks if a file with same name exists in the specified target path. The return item has the checkedout_path property set to the value of the path to where the file would be downloaded. You can then use this path to determine if a file already exists in this path for further logic handling. No file is downloaded in this mode.

Example:

Item cadItem = inn.newItem(“CAD”, “add”);

Item myFile = cadItem.fetchFileProperty(“native_file”, filePath, FetchFileMode.Normal);
