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, Tina,
If you mean the extended file properties available on NTFS systems, I
think that you will need to use DSOFile.dll for this. See http://support.microsoft.com/?id=224351
for details. (There is a problem if you need to create these properties
for files that don't already have them. There was recently a posting
about a solution for this. See http://www.codecomments.com/archive2...-2-813451.html
if you need to do this.
Cheers,
Randy

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

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.

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,

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.

To get data of excel file into datatable i used oledbconnection. In
connectonstring i set extended properties as excel 8.0.
My question is for excel, will extended properties be always 8.0. Or it
may varies depending on excel version installed on client PC.

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.
