File attributes

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?

RE: File attributes

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.
