How to access and modify file properties using C# codings?

I want to access and modify the following file properties
1. when you open an application e.g. word / acrobat reader, those
information in file -> properties.
2. when you right click the file, choose properties, the information stored
in summary

thanks

IIRC those properties are stored in the file itself, and the application
registers (at installation, or first tiem executed) a handler that the
system then calls to display those properties when you right-click and
select properties.

Such details (certainly for Office documents) are stored as part of the file
structure, which used to be stored using OLE Structured Storage. However I
have never looked at this from a C# example, but you might have something to
go on if you consider SS.

I've seen plenty of articles on this topic but none of them have been able to solve my problem. I am working with an Access 97 database on an NT4.0 machine, which has many Access reports. I want my users to be able to select a report, click on a command button on a form, which will then automatically create the report as a pdf file and save it to the user's machine. I am using Adobe Acrobat (5.0 I think) and have Adobe Distiller as a

We are running an Access 2000 MDB with a SQL 7 back end. Our network guy is upgrading to Windows Server 2003 and wants to upgrade Office and SQL Server at the same time. We're moving to SQL Server 2005, and, since he already has licenses for Office Pro 2002, he wants to upgrade to that. I've been saying that we need to upgrade to Access 2003, not 2002, even if Office is kept at 2002. We are also looking to do a fair amount of...
