I ran across a minor but annoying problem with sending a time back from the handler through a custom result. Using datatype DateTime will not work. The value comes through from the server as a long timestamp, which is wonderful, but that does not parse to a DateTime directly. It has to be a string-ified. However, this cannot be done in the OnFileUploaded event because by then the server has already choked on converting Date(long value) to a DateTime. The solution is to use a timestamp represented as a long datatype for the result property, send that across , and decode / parse on the other end (client side) as desired. like this:
In the custom result:
/// instant of file upload
/// this is a timestamp
public long UploadTimeStampUTC
{
get;
set;
} = new DateTimeOffset(System.DateTime.Now.ToUniversalTime()).ToUnixTimeMilliseconds(); // this is overkill
public int UploadResultStatusCode { get; set; } // whatever code you want
public string UploadResultMessage // happy.. or very, very sad
{
get;
set;
}
(not all properties shown....)
In the handler
...
..
var tsLong = new DateTimeOffset(System.DateTime.Now.ToUniversalTime()).ToUnixTimeMilliseconds();
result.UploadTimeStampUTC = tsLong;
result.myUploadTime = tsLong ;
....
...
result.UploadResultMessage = $"Status Code: {result.UploadResultStatusCode} - Process Result Message: {logMsg} {Environment.NewLine}" +
$"Original FileName: {file.FileName}{Environment.NewLine}" +
$"TempUploadFileName {FullPath.Replace(System.IO.Path.DirectorySeparatorChar, System.IO.Path.AltDirectorySeparatorChar)}{Environment.NewLine}" +
$"UploadResultFileName: {result.UploadResultFileName}{Environment.NewLine}" +
$"UploadResultPhysicalFileName: {result.PhysicalFileName}{Environment.NewLine}" +
$"UploadDateTime: {(Helpers.UnixTimeStampToDateTime(tsLong).ToString("F", CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-US")))}";
return result;
...
In OnFileUploaded:
...
...
LBISAsyncUploadResultError result = e.UploadResult as LBISAsyncUploadResultError;
Log?.Debug(result.UploadResultMessage);
Log?.Debug($"Filename on disk: {result.PhysicalFileName}");
Log?.Debug($"TITLE: {e.File.GetFieldValue("Title")}");
Log?.Debug($"NOTES: {e.File.GetFieldValue("Notes") }");
Log?.Debug($"TIMESTAMP (as long): {result.UploadTimeStampUTC.ToString()}");
Log?.Debug($"DATETIME: {(Helpers.UnixTimeStampToDateTime(result.UploadTimeStampUTC).ToString("F", CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en-US")))}");
the results look like:
