Getting and changing file Summary information

[Guest]

Hi,

I am trying to find a way to get and change file summary information. I
tried using FileInfo class, but it doesn't give me information such as
"Author,Title,Rating" etc. Is there a way to get and change these information
using .NET libraries?

Sample would be a great help...

Thanks
Hiten

Hello Hiten,

It calls "Structured Storage" -IPropertySetStorage interface with StgCreateStorageEx/StgOpenStorageEx
methods.
It's WinAPI methods, and you need to use interop for this - see www.pinvoke.net

Besides, see there http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;224351

Thanks Michael,

I tried the URL u provided about DsoFile from microsoft, the only thing
is... I am getting Access Denied error when i tries to change a property of
..mp3 file, however, it works on microsoft documents such as excel, visio
document etc. Do you think the DsoFile library is for microsoft documents
only?

thanks,
Hiten
