The date and time returned by this property can be converted from UTC to local time in server-side code by using SPRegionalSettings.TimeZone.UTCToLocalTime(DateTime) method.

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date for a ScheduledItem object and schedules the item so that it is published when the start date is reached and it is unpublished when the end date is reached.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.
