Q: 

How to read custom file properties in c#

I'm looking for a way to read document properties in C#. I've heard about dsofile.dll, but it seems like an old COM wrapper, and was wondering if there is something more modern for the .NET framework/C#. What I'm actually reading is not an office document file, but a Solidworks .SLDDRW file, that has Custom properties. You can view and change these in Windows Explorer by right-clicking on the file, and going to the Properties window, Custom tab.

Anyone know how to read these custom properties in C# / .NET 3.5?

Thanks!

If I understand you correctly, this thread has the answer for you:

Read/Write ‘Extended’ file properties (C#)

Nope, extended properties are not custom properties, i've just seen that...
