Word File Properties
Document properties contain some additional information and details about a file. It's also known as Word file's metadata and can represent values like author, company, title and subject.
There are two types of document properties, BuiltIn and Custom.
On the following link you can find out how to view or change the properties for an Office file.
The following example shows how you can read and write built-in and custom document properties.
using System;
using GemBox.Document;
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
// If using Professional version, put your serial key below.
ComponentInfo.SetLicense("FREE-LIMITED-KEY");
var document = DocumentModel.Load("%InputFileName%");
var documentProperties = document.DocumentProperties;
Console.WriteLine("# Built-in document properties:");
// Read built-in document properties.
foreach (var builtinProperty in documentProperties.BuiltIn)
Console.WriteLine($"{builtinProperty.Key,25}: {builtinProperty.Value}");
// Write custom document properties.
documentProperties.Custom.Add("My Custom Property 1", "My Custom Value");
documentProperties.Custom.Add("My Custom Property 2", 123.4);
Console.WriteLine();
Console.WriteLine("# Custom document properties:");
// Read custom document properties.
foreach (var customProperty in documentProperties.Custom)
Console.WriteLine($"{customProperty.Key,25}: {customProperty.Value} [{customProperty.Value.GetType()}]");
}
