I have a requirement to display lists of newly-created and updated pages in our Episerver intranet - say the last ten of each. I've tried using FindPagesWithCriteria
but this returns no results. Here's the code I've tried:
PageDataCollection recentPages;
PropertyCriteriaCollection criteria;
PropertyCriteria upperBound;
PropertyCriteria lowerBound;
criteria = new PropertyCriteriaCollection();
upperBound = new PropertyCriteria();
upperBound.Condition = CompareCondition.LessThan;
upperBound.Type = PropertyDataType.Date;
upperBound.Value = DateTime.Today.ToString();
upperBound.Name = "Created"; // Or Saved for updated pages
criteria.Add(upperBound);
lowerBound = new PropertyCriteria();
lowerBound.Condition = CompareCondition.GreaterThan;
lowerBound.Type = PropertyDataType.Date;
lowerBound.Value = DateTime.Today.AddDays(-7).ToString();
lowerBound.Name = "Created";
criteria.Add(lowerBound);
recentPages = DataFactory.Instance.FindPagesWithCriteria(PageReference.StartPage, criteria);
I've also tried using the RecentlyChangedPagesFinder
(as detailed here) - this returns some results, but when I try to use the set of results to build a PageCollection to databind into a PageList, again I get nothing output. And I can't see that I could use that for new pages, only updated ones.
The property name should be "PageCreated".

You can also improve your FindPagesWithCriteria-syntax by going something like this:
var criterias = new PropertyCriteriaCollection
{
new PropertyCriteria()
{
Name = "SomeProp",
Type = PropertyDataType.PageType,
Value = "eh",
Condition = CompareCondition.Equal,
Required = true
},
new PropertyCriteria()
{
...
};
var pages = DataFactory.Instance.FindPagesWithCriteria(somePageLink, criterias);
