Question

You should all have noticed if you right click a file in the windows explorer, there is a tab named Details. Is there any trick to get these properties, and specifically the product name, whether this is a .NET file or not, over C#?

Answer 1

You can use the FileVersionInfo class for that purpose.

FileVersionInfo fvi = FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(fileName);
Console.WriteLine("Product name : {0}", fvi.ProductName);
