/**
 * 
 * The meaning of this property varies depending on whether the iCalendar object
 * has a {@link Method} property.
 * 
 * 
 * Has a {@link Method} property: Defines the creation date of the
 * iCalendar object itself (not the creation date of the actual calendar
 * data from the originating data store). Use the {@link Created} property to
 * define the creation date of the actual calendar data.
 * Does not have a {@link Method} property: Defines the date that the
 * calendar data was last updated (the {@link LastModified} property also holds
 * this information).
 * 
 * 
 * Code sample:
 * 
 * 
 *  * VEvent event = new VEvent();
 * 
 * Date datetime = ... 
 * DateTimeStamp dtstamp = new DateTimeStamp(datetime);
 * event.setDateTimeStamp(dtstamp);
 * 
 * @author Michael Angstadt
 * @see RFC 5545
 * p.137-8
