OneDrive SDK (Graph API) Determine if file has been checked out

I am looking for the best way to check if a file has been checked out by a user using the OneDrive SDK. This is just a layer on the Graph API. I wish to prevent downloads in my application if the file is checked out.
I am getting the contents of a folder using this
var results = await graphClient.Drives[driveId].Items[folderId].Children.Request().GetAsync();
However there does not appear to be any properties in this response around if the item is checked out?
From my testing I can attempt to checkout the file anyway and handle an exception is returned if the file is already checked out, but this is not something I would want to do for multiple items for obvious performance reasons.
await graphClient.Drives[driveId].Items[documentId].Checkout().Request().PostAsync();
Is anyone aware of a more efficient way to determine if files are checked out?

You need to read publication property of publicationFacet type. It provides details on the published status of a driveItem resource.
publicationFacet type has property level which describes the state of publication for this document. Either published or checkout.
publication property is not returned by default and must be specified in Select method.
var results = await graphClient.Drives[driveId].Items[folderId].Children
.Request()
.Select("id,...,publication")
.GetAsync();

Using Realm Sync with Azure Functions

I'm trying to use Realm Cloud in an Azure Function but it keeps giving me an error:
make_dir() failed: Permission denied Path: /realm-object-server/
Is there a way to configure Azure Functions to have permissions to create files? I'm new to Azure Functions, this is my first one so I'm not really sure of all the particulars.

I have found one solution to this. Inside Azure function, you can only create any file or folder inside the temp folder. So if you use following sync configuration, it should work. It worked for me.
var configuration = new FullSyncConfiguration(new Uri("/~/<your-realm-name>", UriKind.Relative), _realmUser, Path.Combine(Path.GetTempPath(), "realm-object-server"));
So basically, here you are passing the folder name to store the realm locally. If you don't pass the folder name, it will try to store it in a default location where you will get the access error.

I am not familiar with Realm, but functions has permissions to interact with the file system by default. See these links for information on the app service file system (this applies for functions too):
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/operating-system-functionality#file-access
https://github.com/projectkudu/kudu/wiki/Understanding-the-Azure-App-Service-file-system
If the function is deployed using run from package, then the wwwroot is readonly. But since the path in the error message doesn't point to wwwroot, this is probably not the issue.
My best guess is that the code that is failing is trying to write to in an inappropriate location. The information in the links above should help resolve that. Maybe check to see if realm has a config setting that lets you specify which location it should be creating "realm-object-server" in.

You can use
SyncConfigurationBase.Initialize(UserPersistenceMode.NotEncrypted, basePath: Path.GetTempPath());

How do I download documents from AtTask?

I'm working on a continuing API project. The current issue at hand is to be able to download my data from the AtTask server in precisely the folder structure they exist in on the AtTask servers. I've got the folder creation working nicely; the data types between Document, Document Folder and Document Version seem to be pretty clear. I am a little disillusioned about the fact that extension isn't in the document object (that I have to refer to the document VERSION for that)... but I can see some of the reason for that from a design perspective.
The issue I'm running into now is that I need to get the file content. I originally through from the API documentation that I'd be able to get to the file contents the same way as the documentation recommends uploading it -- through the handle. Unfortunately, neither document nor docv seem to support me accessing the handle except to write a new file.
So that leaves me the "download URL" as the remaining option. If I build the UI strings from the API calls using my browser, I get a URL with https://attaskURL/document/download?ID=xxxx (and can also get the versionID and such). If I paste the url into the browser where I'm logged in to the user interface of AtTask, it works fine and I can download the file. If, instead, I use my C# code to do so, I get the login page returned as a stream for me to download instead of my actual file because I'm not authenicated. I've tried creating a network credential and attaching it to the request with the username and password, but to no avail.
I imagine there's a couple ways to solve this problem -- the easy one being finding a way to "log in" to the download site through code (which doesn't seem to be the usual network credential object in C#) OR find a way to access the file contents through the API.
Appreciate your thoughts!

It looks like you can use the download URL if you put a session id in the URL. The details on getting a session id are here (basically just call login and a session id is returned in JSON):
http://developers.attask.com/api-docs/#Authentication
Then cram it on the end of your document download URL:
https://yourcompany.attask-ondemand.com/document/download?ID=xxxx&sessionID=abc1234
I've given this a quick test and I'm able to access a document.

You can use the downloadURL and a sessionID IF you are not using SAML authentication.
I have tried it both ways and using SAML will redirect you to the login page.

How to add an download link to users in my project

In my project i will be having an link like
Download
I want the users to download files of different types. The file will be in the root folder. When i am clicking on the link it is displaying an error. This is the plugin to install in the chrome. If the user download this link and open then it will automatically add to the chrome.
How can i do this.
The file is not even downloading.

This isn't a valid path:
~/hello world.crx
The ~ character is for use server-side to denote the root of the application. Client-side it has no meaning. The browser doesn't know what the root of the application is (or what the application is at all), it's just sending requests to resources at addresses. And it doesn't know what to do with that address.
You'll need to either use some server-side logic to translate that path into a browser-useable path, or manually make it a relative or absolute path.
If the ASP.NET MVC Framework isn't translating this for you then you're probably using a version that requires a little more manual work for it. Try something like:
Download
(Note: This assumes the use of the Razor view engine. If you're not using that then you'll want to use whatever your view engine equivalent is.)

What you need to do is set up a directory online, where you can host the file.
I also see that in your aref you don't want to type the full path so denote it with a /hello_world.crx, but make sure that you've set up a base href:
<base href="http://yourdomain.com/something/">

Try renaming the file to remove any spaces e.g. "hello_world.crx" and then change the name in the link code to match.

if a webpage and the downloadable file is in the same location
(i.e)
SampleFolder->Download.html
SampleFolder->hello world.crx
then try the below
download
If the webpage and the downloadable file in different location
(i.e)
SampleFolder->Download.html
SampleFolder->Downloads->hello world.crx
then try the below
download

Web File Properties

Is it possible to get file properties of a web file. ie: PDF file and get the date and time the PDF file was modified. Thanks.

You're probably looking for the HttpWebResponse.LastModified property.

No, you can't. It's not a file, it's a resource.
When you request it from the server you get a response back. In this case the server uses a file as source for the resource, but it could just as well be something that is just created on the fly. You only get the information that the server chooses to put in the HTML header.
You might however be able to get some more information if the server returns directory information. Then you could request the folder and get a listing back, from which you could parse some information. Note however that it's not certain that the server actually uses the files when you request something from the directory, it could still return something completely different. Also, the directory listing is also a resource, so there is no guarantee that it's relevant either.
