GetSignatureDateTime Method

Summary

Returns the Digital Signature DateTime (0400,0105) of the specified Digital Signature.

Syntax

C++/CLI

public DicomDateTimeValue GetSignatureDateTime( 
   DicomElement signatureItem 
)

public: 
DicomDateTimeValue GetSignatureDateTime(  
   DicomElement^ signatureItem 
)

Parameters

signatureItem
The Digital Signatures Sequence Item that corresponds to the Digital Signature. This cannot be null.

Return Value

The Digital Signature DateTime (0400,0105) of the specified Digital Signature. The return value can be a null reference (Nothing in VB).

Remarks

The Digital Signature DateTime (0400,0105) under the Digital Signatures Sequence Item of a Digital Signature specifies the date and time the Digital Signature was created. You can use this method to obtain the value of this Data Element. The following methods can also be used to get information about the Digital Signature:

GetSignatureUID

GetSignedElementsCount

Example

using Leadtools.Dicom; 
 
 
public void ExamineSignature(DicomDataSet dataset, DicomElement signatureItem)

   // Verify the Digital Signature; if pSignatureItem is NULL, the function 
   // will verify all the Digital Signatures that exist in the Data Set 
   bool ret = dataset.VerifySignature(signatureItem); 
   if (ret == true)
