List files and folders and their properties

The following example shows you how to list files and folders with their size, content type, dates and ETag, and how to request further properties.

C# example

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Net;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Independentsoft.Webdav;

namespace Sample
{
    class Program
    {
        static async Task Main(string[] args)
        {
            NetworkCredential credential = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");

            using (WebdavClient client = new WebdavClient(credential))
            {
                client.BaseAddress = new Uri("https://myserver/dav/");

                // Further properties to get with the common ones.
                PropertyName[] properties = { DavProperty.GetContentLanguage };

                IReadOnlyList<ResourceInfo> resources = await client.List("documents/", properties: properties);

                foreach (ResourceInfo resource in resources)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(resource.Name);
                    Console.WriteLine("  Folder: " + resource.IsCollection);
                    Console.WriteLine("  Size: " + resource.ContentLength);
                    Console.WriteLine("  Content type: " + resource.ContentType);
                    Console.WriteLine("  Last modified: " + resource.LastModified);
                    Console.WriteLine("  ETag: " + resource.ETag);

                    if (resource.Properties.TryGetValue(DavProperty.GetContentLanguage, out Property language))
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine("  Language: " + language.Value);
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

            Dim credential As New NetworkCredential("username", "password")

            Using client As New WebdavClient(credential)

                ' Further properties to get with the common ones.
                Dim properties As PropertyName() = {DavProperty.GetContentLanguage}

                Dim resources As IReadOnlyList(Of ResourceInfo) = Await client.List("documents/", properties:=properties)

                For Each resource As ResourceInfo In resources

                    Dim language As [Property] = Nothing

                    If resource.Properties.TryGetValue(DavProperty.GetContentLanguage, language) Then
                        Console.WriteLine("  Language: " & language.Value)
                    End If
                Next
            End Using
