Hi,

I want to get the name of a custom property.

I know that you can get number of custom properties in a document by using following code, but how can i get the name of them?

AllCustomProps = this.WordApplication.ActiveDocument.CustomDocument Properties;

Type TypeOfAllCustomProps = AllCustomProps.GetType();

int NumberOfProperties = Int32.Parse(TypeOfAllCustomProps.InvokeMember("Cou nt",

BindingFlags.Default | BindingFlags.GetProperty,

null, AllCustomProps, new object[] { }).ToString());

Can you please post a sample vb.net code which illustrates the way how we can access all properties from the file?
Thanks in aticipation.

Can you try like the following:

            Office.DocumentProperties oprop = (Office.DocumentProperties)ThisApplication.ActiveD ocument.CustomDocumentProperties;
            foreach (Office.DocumentProperty oprp in oprop)
            {
                MessageBox.Show( oprp.Name);
            }

Cheers

Thanks for the code, but the C# syntax was of less help to me.

What I am looking for is reading and resetting the document properties
like "Author" "Title" "Subject" "Company" etc. for specific office files.
Say for a file "SampleDocument.Doc".

I could not find in your code snippet where to pass the file name...sorry if I sound dumb...but I am fairly new to it.

Would appreciate if you share the references required too.

VB.net Please!

Can you try using System.Reflection

The following thing worked for me
