Adding Document properties to a data file

[HSalim]

Hi,

I am using DevExpress' XtraPivotGrid in a project.
I can save the grid's data to a file, which can be useful for a number of
reasons. I want to add Microsoft Office-style document properties to the
data file so that I can save properties such as author, company, comment etc
and a set of custom properties. For example, I'd like to store the
parameter that were used to retrieve the data.

One suggestion was to use a stream to save the properties with the data
file. Office-style document properties can be viewed right in Explorer,
which is big plus to me (who know if the users will actually find it useful,
but one hopes...)

I'm in over my head on this one and would appreciate any assistance.

Thanks in advance
Habib

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the reply. I'm still in over my head, but I am going to try
creating a package or some sort of structured storage file.
