# Task

> Task data type in the ABBYY FlexiCapture Web Services API: fields describing a task, its batch, status, priority, timestamps, assigned user, and flags.

## What it does

The **Task** data type stores information about tasks.

<Note>
  Besides records of this type, information about tasks is also stored in XML files. An XML file may describe the entire task or its separate files. See the [Working with files](/flexi-capture/api/files/files) section for information about the structure of data in files and working with files.

To convert values, use the following methods (C#):</p><pre><code>DateTime dtTime;
long lTime;
...
// conversion from DateTime to long

lTime = dTime.ToFileTime();</code></pre></td></tr><tr><td><p>ModificationTime</p></td><td><p>long</p></td><td><p>The time when the task was last modified. Use the following methods (C#) for conversion:</p><pre><code>DateTime dtTime;
long lTime;

// conversion from long to DateTime
lTime = dTime.ToFileTime();</code></pre></td></tr><tr><td><p>Comment</p></td><td><p>string</p></td><td><p>Comment to the task</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>StageType</p></td><td><p>int</p></td><td><p>The type of the processing stage at which the task was formed.
