How to retrieve the summary info shown on the properties tab for a file

[Guest]

Can anyone tell me how to retrieve the summary information for the
properties of a file.

In windows explorer you would right on the file, select properties and then
click the summary tab.

Hi,

The summary tab is not common to all the file types, but it depends on the
property sheet handlers configured on the machine. Unfortunately I don't
think there's an easy way to access this information from .NET.

For more information please see the following document:
