Getting extended file information

Can someone point me in the right direction? I'm looking to get extended
file information on .exe or .dlls such as

File Version
Description
Copyright
Language
Internal Name
Product Name
Product Version

Anyone know how to do this? I would much prefer to get this information the
way Windows XP does, so I can return info from non exe/dlls (such as mp3s)..
if you right click properties a mp3 file you get the "Summary" tab which
sums up all the meta data XP knows on the file... of course when WinFS comes
I guess this will be easier :)

I'm trying to programmatically access information from a telnet session which is normally accessed with a telnet program capable of terminal emulation (currently set at VT320). The initial login text displays fine, of course, but when I get to the section which displays extended ASCII characters, Telnet from telnetlib displays the following garbled mess: ?[?40h?[?3l?[0;1m?>?[?1l?[?25l?[?3l?[0;0H?[2J?[?25l?(B??[0;7m?[23B ba6.0 version...

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, -- David

I 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 GetFileInfo but I don't see it in .Net anywhere. How can I get this information? Thanks, T

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...

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.
