Hello,
I'd like to read the extended file properties using C#. Those are e.g.
author, subject, ... of a word file or bit rate, artist, duration of a mp3
file. I already tried to use the storage properties provided by OLE, but
those only work for Office document. The explorer displays this information
but I have no clue to access from C#. Hints and Help are appreciated.
Regards,

Sounds like Nicholas Paldino's the guy who can help with this.
Good luck.

I already looked in the IProperties as proposed by Nicholas Paldino.
Unfortunatly this works only for MS Office documents (to be more precise,
for documents following OLE). E.g. it doesn't work for mp3 files, which have
that information to as can be seen in the explorer in the detail view. Is
there a possibility to access the information from C#?
Thanks for your help

Hi,
This is getting closer. Anyway it uses the file structure of the MP3 file so
I can't use for a more general solution to display and edit the properties
if any file I know or I don't such as the Windows Explorer does. I wonder if
the properties are stored and can be accessed in a more structured way.
Regards

Hi there!
Hope anybody can help. I want to at least read (maybe write) the extended
file properties of office documents like winword, excel, ....
I've tried two ways till now, one by opening the responding application
(this method was to slow for my needs).
The other way was using the dsofile.dll from microsoft. With that, first, it
seemed to work.

Does anybody know how to read/write extended file properties such as
comments, keywords, author, etc. in VB.NET? I can't find anything anywhere.
It may be because I don't know where to start or even what these properties
(attached to all files in Windows XP) are called. Any help will be
appreciated. Thanks.

My question is for excel, will extended properties be always 8.0. Or it
may varies depending on excel version installed on client PC.

need to obtain the extended file properties, such as Owner, Title, etc,
for a file in a .net program. I have looked through the FileInfo class and
I cannot see any methods or properties that will expose this. In the old
days we used to use GetDetailsOf but I don't see it in .Net anywhere.
How can I get this information?
Thanks,

I created a dataset in code (with extended properties on the table and
the columns) and I saved the schema (the properties were there). Now I
am trying to take that .xsd file and generate a dataset class. Problem
is xsd blows off the extended property definition when it creates the
..cs file. What's up... this is a show-stopper? Is this really true?
(VS 2005)
Thanks.

Hi!
I have a user on my database that has only "select" access
(db_datareader).
Problem is, I also want him to also be able to create/update extended
properties on tables or views, but without modifying the tables'
schema.
I played around with GRANT but apparently, a member of "db_datareader"
cannot create/modify extended properties on an object if he's not the
owner of this object. I tried making this user a member of
