Description

The MaxDateToProcess property is a filtering property that lets you limit the processing of files to only those files that have a date and time stamp smaller than or equal to a specified date and time. This property affects the list of files specified in the FilesToProcess property.

Files that have a date and time larger than the date and time specified in the MaxDateToProcess property will be tagged as "excluded" when the ZipPreprocessingFile or UnzipPreprocessingFile event occurs, and will not be processed unless you change the value of the excluded parameter to False.

This property can be used in conjunction with other filtering properties. In particular, it can be used in conjunction with the MinDateToProcess property in order to provide a range of date and time stamps that should be processed.
