Whats the best way to read/write file properties (like author, description, etc) in C#?
I can use dsofile.dll to accomplish this but I wonder if this is the right way to go. (being unmanaged code?)
Any ideas?
Microsoft explicitly recommends dsofile.dll for use with .NET. Not sure why you think this would be inappropriate – it ultimately uses the very code that other structured file readers also use. Reimplementing this in managed code would be error-prone, and likely does more harm than good.
