BDDDate Property (.NET)

 

Type: String

 

This static property returns a string that indicates the date and time the BrowserHawk BDD/BDF data file was last updated. For example, "7/12/2002 2:48:57 PM". This allows you to programmatically access this information through script, rather than having to load the BDF in the BrowserHawk Editor to check this value. This is especially handy if you use BrowserHawk through your hosting provider and want to determine when it was last updated.

 

Note: Your BDD/BDF file must be created with version 6 or later of the BrowserHawk Editor for this time stamp to be available (otherwise this property will contain a blank string).

 

Note: This value is always provided in the same localized date format used on the machine where the BrowserHawk Editor last saved the BDD/BDF. For example, since cyScape is based in the U.S. this string will always be in the format of "MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS XM", even if this property is accessed on a machine with regional settings that use a DD/MM/YYYY date format.

 

C# Example:

<html> Your BrowserHawk definitions being used are dated (US format):

<% Response.Write(BrowserObj.BDDDate); %>

</html>
