Parsing the Summary Tab of a File's properties 1

[dseaver]

I am trying to use the Revision Number field from the Summary tab of a .vbs or .js file's properties. Is there a class that already handles this (like System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo)? This needs to be done in VS .Net 2003. Thanks!

according to this post the functionality exists, but doesn't work. towards bottom of the thread there are 2 ms links:

&

not sure if they will help.

I found my way to the MS KB that you posted, It looks like the DSOFile.dll is where I want to look, I found a blod with an example of this here:

Thanks for the info, it supported the path I am starting to take

I have found it with the help of jmeckley and some digging, using the DSOFile source code from the MS KB above (

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q224351

) I recompiled the code in VS2003 and used the following 3 lines to access the Revision field and put it in a text field

OleDocumentPropertiesClass test =  new OleDocumentPropertiesClass();
test.Open(@"C:\test.vbs", true, DSOFile.dsoFileOpenOptions.dsoOptionDefault);
this.textBox1.Text = test.SummaryProperties.RevisionNumber;
