How read file attributes/properties/tags?

When you right-click on a file, there is (in addition to a general tab that
has basic attributes) a "Details" tab that has extended properties. How can
I read these values from VB.NET? I know with System.IO I can read those
basic properies from the general tab, but how do I get to the other?

Thanks,
Ron

Hello all, It stinks being a newbie! One thing that I'm not sure about with CSS is: where is the "proper" place to put font attibutes? This has me a little confused. Take the below style sheet (which is a work in progress) as an example. If I don't put the font attributes in the <body> <p> and <td> tags, the font will not appear the way I want (when I work in FrontPage, anyway). It doesn't seem to be enough to put the font attributes in...

I'm wondering if there are general rules for the use of HTML attributes with ASP tags? For example, one can set an id for an asp:DataGrid and it will show up as the id for the resulting HTML table. So then can one set, say, a class for an asp:DataGrid and all other asp tags that map one-to-one to HTML tags and have it pass thru? I'd like to use class in particular to map the resulting generated HTML to CSS names. I just tried this and...

Right-click on a file (e.g. a .wmv file) in Windows Explorer and there's the "General" tab with Date Created, Attributes (i.e. whether the file is read only or and.or hidden), and other properties. I can get at these values programatically via the System.IO namespace and the FileInfo method: FileInfo file = new FileInfo(@"C:\Data\MyFile.wmv"); Response.Write("Location :" + file.FullName + "<BR/>" + "Size :" + file.Length + "<BR/>" +...

As many of us may know, certain attributes of some HTML tags are not supported in XHTML 1.0 Strict (see http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_hr.asp). I am working on making anything I can XHTML 1.0 Strict compatible (preparing for the future) by converting the attributes to CSS. First of all, does anybody know of a good page that maps each specific HTML attribute to the CSS property that could be used in it's place? A site like this would...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
