modifying file properties (summary - title) programmaticall y.

Is it possible to modify the file properties of a file
programmaticall y? For example, every file, when you right
click has a properties option, then from that you can
select the summary tab and from that set the Title, Author
and Subject. I use c# and VB but can't find a way how to
set these programmaticall y. Any one have any idea how to
do this? Thanks - Keith.

I can't figure out how to set those properties (with C# programmatically) found on the Summary tab if you select the properties by right clicking on the file in Windows Explorer (that is for NTSF systems of Win 2000 and XP). So bascially I am writing a file to the harddrive and I want to store information about that file in the Summary tab of the properties for that file. I have explored most of what I can think of to no avail.

My goal is to write a program in C# that will take the Artist and Title of an MP3 file and change the name of the file to a concatenated combination of the two. In order to do this, I am trying to find the correct property to implement. I have found information about the file name itself and the extensions (among other things), but not specific details about an individual file. In case what I am explaining may seem somewhat vague,...

Hi All, I'm trying to programatically (using c#) read the file properties (Title, Summary, Author, Comments etc.... The stuff that shows up on the Summary tab when you see the properties of a file). FileInfo and FileSystemInfo classes expose only the standard properties (create time, mod time etc..). Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ram Thiru

if you right click on a .jpg file -> properties -> summary tab, you can set some of the attributes of that file (title, subject, author, comments, etc.). how do you access this information from a .jpg file and modify it, using a VB.NET application? What I'd like to do: 1. have user browse for path of a particular .jpg file (i know how to do this) 2. extract the current "subject" attribute information (don't know)

I have a rather complex need. I have a class that parses web pages and extracts all relevant file addresses. It allows me to download every pdf on a web page, for instance. I would like to incorporate threads so that I can download N files separately. The obvious solution is a thread pool. However, I need to make sure that I download the files Async - so I can get percentage and status information to my interface.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
