Accessing file properties

[JBK]

I've been searching the file classes for a way to read and modify the file
properties you see when you right click a file, under the summary tab. It
has fields like title, subject, category and so on.

Thanks for any tips.

JBK,

There is not a .NET API for this. You'll have to use .NET Interop.

[Structured Storage API Reference]

[VB.NET Example]

[C# Example] - Mine is application specific but you could still use it
for reference. Specifically my StructuredStorage.cs.

Good luck.
