Is it possible to retrieve the "created by" identity and "modified by"
identity for a file (e.g. word doc, .pdf, report, etc) using .NET?
 
Thanks for your reply. We currently have the DSOfile.dll. However, it only
works with Microsoft Office documents. Is there similar functionality for
retrieving it from non-office documents?
 
Hello, EYIII,

As I understand it, the properties must first be created before they can
be accessed. DSOFile is supposed to be able to do the creation, but
there is some bug that gets in the way.

There is a posting by "jeolmeun" providing more details and a
workaround, but I still haven't had a chance to try it out. See:

http://www.codecomments.com/message813451.html

for additional details.

By the way. I would really appreciate hearing about your experience
with using this workaround, since (eventually) I will have to do this too.

Cheers,
Randy
