    Programmatically set unpublish date

    Extending Umbraco and using the API
    Umbraco 7

    Hi all,

    I'm trying to set the unpublish date to a node programmatically but im hitting an issue.

    Here is the code i have and im not sure why its not working: 

    var c = Services.ContentService.GetById(1214);
c.SetValue("_umb_expiredate", DateTime.Now.AddMonths(1));
Services.ContentService.SaveAndPublishWithStatus(c);

    I'm getting the error of No PropertyType exists with the supplied alias: _umb_expiredate but this property does exist but its a default umbraco one...

    Anyone know where im going wrong?

    Thanks, Lewis

    Hi Lewis,

    IContent has an ExpireDate property with the following description:

    Gets or Sets the date the Content should expire and thus be unpublished

    So given your code example, it ought to be something like this:

    var c = Services.ContentService.GetById(1214);
c.ExpireDate = DateTime.Now.AddMonths(1);
Services.ContentService.SaveAndPublishWithStatus(c);

    Hope that helps ;)
