Hello,

I am trying to access the extended file property 'comments' on a graphic file.

I see using FSO I would use GetDetailsOf. How can this be done in VB2008?

Hello,

found out how to read the attributes

Private Sub GetDetails()
Dim objShell As New Shell32.Shell
Dim objFolder As Shell32.Folder


objFolder = objShell.NameSpace("C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample
Pictures")

If (Not objFolder Is Nothing) Then
Dim objFolderItem As Shell32.FolderItem
objFolderItem = objFolder.ParseName("creek.jpg")

If (Not objFolderItem Is Nothing) Then
Dim szItem As String
For i As Integer = 0 To 30
szItem = objFolder.GetDetailsOf(objFolderItem, i)
Console.WriteLine(i.ToString + " " + szItem)
Next
End If

objFolderItem = Nothing
End If

objFolder = Nothing
objShell = Nothing
End Sub

Any Ideas how to update the attrigutes .. namely the comments field.
