Check if the File links of an Item are up-to-date

<?xml encoding=”UTF-8″>By Sajith Subramanian

If you wish to check if the file links of an item are up-to-date, using the API, then you can make use of the ItemFileLinkState property for that particular Item. So for e.g:

<span>try</span>
{    <br>  Item <span>item</span> = connection.WebServiceManager.ItemService.GetLatestItemByItemNumber(<span>"10001"</span>);   <br><br>  PropDef[] <span>propDefs</span> =<br>    connection.WebServiceManager.PropertyService.GetPropertyDefinitionsByEntityClassId(<span>"ITEM"</span>);  <br><br>  PropDef prop<span>def</span> =<br>  propDefs.Where(<span>s</span> => s.SysName == VDF.Vault.Currency.Properties.PropertyDefinitionIds.<br>                                                             Server.ItemFileLinkState).First();  <br><br>  PropInst <span>prop</span> = <br>    connection.WebServiceManager.PropertyService.GetProperties(<span>"ITEM"</span>, <br>                                        <span>new</span> <span>long</span>[] { item.Id }, <span>new</span> <span>long</span>[] { def.Id }).First();     <br><br><span>  var</span> <span>value</span> = prop.Val;
}

This would return 3 possible values – 0, 10 and 20, which basically means: 0 – “Out of Date “; 10 – “Current”; 20 – “No links“.
