Are there any dotnet classes that can be used to get the summary information
for files that is display in the file property in Windows Explorer.

Marlon,

Most of the information you'll be looking for is available from the FileInfo
class. Check out the docs at:

frlrfSystemIOFileInfoClassTopic.asp

Sorry. You are absolutely correct. There is no managed code way of getting
at that information that I'm aware of. There might be an API, but I can't
help you there. Again, sorry and good luck.

marlon,

I am looking for the exact same thing. I didn't find
anything in the API, but I've posted elsewhere to see if
someone knows something. If you find out something, could
you please let me know? If I learn anything I will share
it here.

thanks,

Ed

I guess you have to use [heavy] Interop
with 'Structured Storage', like:

http://www.domaindlx.com/e...scripts/cod/net.asp
http://www.domaindlx.com/e...scripts/cod/com.asp#ole_docprop
