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

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:

try
{    
  Item item = connection.WebServiceManager.ItemService.GetLatestItemByItemNumber("10001");   

  PropDef[] propDefs =
    connection.WebServiceManager.PropertyService.GetPropertyDefinitionsByEntityClassId("ITEM");  

  PropDef propdef =
  propDefs.Where(s => s.SysName == VDF.Vault.Currency.Properties.PropertyDefinitionIds.
                                                             Server.ItemFileLinkState).First();  

  PropInst prop = 
    connection.WebServiceManager.PropertyService.GetProperties("ITEM", 
                                        new long[] { item.Id }, new long[] { def.Id }).First();     

  var value = prop.Val;
}

This would return 3 possible values - 0, 10 and 20, which basically means: 0 – “Out of Date “; 10 – “Current”; 20 - "No links".
