This thread is for discussions of Retrieving the Summary properties of a file.

Having trouble getting this too work.

I've downloaded the ole file property reader linked at the bottom of the page. I registered the dll using regsvr32, but errors are being returned.

 

Dim filename as string="c:\test\test.doc"
Dim dso As DSOFile.OleDocumentProperties

' returns error "DSOFile.OleDocumentProperties not defined"

 dso = New DSOFile.OleDocumentProperties

' returns error "DSOFile.OleDocumentProperties not defined"
 dso.Open(filename.Trim, True, DSOFile.dsoFileOpenOptions.dsoOptionOpenReadOnlyIfNoWriteAccess)

' returns error "DSOFile not declared"

 Console.WriteLine(dso.SummaryProperties.Author)
Console.WriteLine(dso.SummaryProperties.ByteCount)
Console.WriteLine(dso.SummaryProperties.CharacterCount)
Console.WriteLine(dso.SummaryProperties.CharacterCountWithSpaces)
Console.WriteLine(dso.SummaryProperties.Comments)
Console.WriteLine(dso.SummaryProperties.Company)
Console.WriteLine(dso.SummaryProperties.DateCreated)
Console.WriteLine(dso.SummaryProperties.DateLastSaved)
Console.WriteLine(dso.SummaryProperties.LastSavedBy)
Console.WriteLine(dso.SummaryProperties.LineCount)
Console.WriteLine(dso.SummaryProperties.PageCount)
Console.WriteLine(dso.SummaryProperties.ParagraphCount)
Console.WriteLine(dso.SummaryProperties.RevisionNumber)
Console.WriteLine(dso.SummaryProperties.Subject)
Console.WriteLine(dso.SummaryProperties.Title)
Console.WriteLine(dso.SummaryProperties.WordCount)

 

How do I use this library after downloading it?

My above question was solved when I used the menu item Website > Add reference > com tab > dso ole document properties reader 2.0.

 

However, when I try to open a file using:

dso.Open(FileName, True, DSOFile.dsoFileOpenOptions.dsoOptionOpenReadOnlyIfNoWriteAccess)

I get this error:

The name  is not valid. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800300FC (STG_E_INVALIDNAME))
