Exceptions
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException] | You can schedule documents only in a minor version-enabled list. |
| [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException] | You can schedule documents only in a list that has content approval enabled. |
| [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException] | The current user does not have sufficient permissions to perform this action. |
| [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException] | Scheduling a start date for a currently approved item is not supported. Items must be in the minor/draft state. |
| [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException] | Scheduling is not supported in this content database. Use Approve or Unpublish instead. |
Remarks
Scheduling an SPListItem indicates that it has already been approved. The same permissions are required for scheduling and approval.
The StartDate and EndDate property values are used to determine the publication schedule. If the start date is earlier than the current date, the SPListItem is published immediately. If not, it is scheduled to publish at a future date. If the end date is specified, the SPListItem is scheduled to unpublish at a future date.
Examples
This sample sets a start and end date for a ScheduledItem object and schedules the item so that it is published when the start date is reached and it is unpublished when the end date is reached.
Before compiling and running this sample, verify that the SPListItem is a list item in a document library that supports scheduling.
