In Word/Excel you have to possibility to add Custom properties. (See Image)
Custom Properties.
As you guys can see there is the field: "Properties:", you can add any information you want there.
When you save the file and you go to the file location in the folder, you can right click -> Properties and you have all the tabs: General/Security/Details/Previous Versions. with the feature you add the tab Custom.
Now I want to get this information through coding: Custom Properties information. and extract it later to notepad.
So far i used the Shell32 but then I only get the information that is in the Details tab. I did some research and saw some possibilities with DSOfile.dll. But I want to know if there is a possibility to do this without installing other DLL?
This is my code so far with the Shell32.
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(#"filepathhere"))
//{
//Console.SetOut(writer);
ReadProperties();
//}
}
static void ReadProperties()
{
List<string> arrHeaders = new List<string>();
Shell shell = new Shell();
Folder objFolder = shell.NameSpace(#"filepathhere");
FolderItem objFolderItem = objFolder.ParseName("filehere.doc");
for (int i = 0; i < short.MaxValue; i++)
{
string header = objFolder.GetDetailsOf(objFolder, i);
if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(header))
break;
arrHeaders.Add(header);
}
for ( int i = 0; i < arrHeaders.Count; i++)
{
Console.WriteLine("{0}\t{1}: {2}", i, arrHeaders[i], objFolder.GetDetailsOf(objFolderItem, i));
}
Console.ReadKey();
}
Thanks in advance!

Historically these properties were defined by the technology called "Structured Storage". The first Structured Storage implementation is the ancient (but still very alive) Compound File Format
After that, Microsoft added Structured Storage capabilities directly into NTFS. This allows you to define properties like author or title on any files (even .txt) files. Although the Explorer UI does not let you do this anymore for some reason, I think it still works programmatically.
And then, with Vista, Microsoft rebooted all that and introduced a superset of all this: the Windows Property System.
Unfortunately, there is no .NET API in the framework for all this. But Microsoft created an open source .NET library called the Windows API CodePack. So, the easiest way for you to extract properties is to add a reference to the WindowsAPICodePack Core NugetPackage and you can use it like this:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
foreach (var prop in new ShellPropertyCollection(#"mypath\myfile"))
{
Console.WriteLine(prop.CanonicalName + "=" + prop.ValueAsObject);
}
}
If you don't want to add extra DLLs, then you can extract the ShellPropertyCollection code from the WindowsAPICodePack source (Windows API Code Pack: Where is it?). It's quite a work but doable.
Another solution in your case, is to use the old Structure Storage native API. I've provided a sample that does this. Here is how you can use it:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
foreach (var prop in new StructuredStorage(#"mypath\myfile").Properties)
{
Console.WriteLine(prop.Name + "=" + prop.Value);
}
}

You can try NPOI engine to extract properties from different Office files (doc, xls, xlsx, docx, etc). This component doesn't have any third party dependencies and you don't need Office to use it.
However, this library is a bit tricky because you need to use different types of property extractors for different type of files. Good code sample can be found in official Git Hub repository TestHPSFPropertiesExtractor.
NuGet package can be found here.
There's a set of NuGet packages called NetOffice that you can use. There are packages for each of the Office applications, plus a few core assemblies. Get NetOffice.Word and NetOffice.Excel and install them in your solution. There's a little documentation at the Codeplex site, but I had to browse the source to really understand what was going on. Here's a sample program:
using NetOffice.OfficeApi;
using System;
namespace Office_Doc_Reader
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
using (var wordApp = new NetOffice.WordApi.Application())
using (var excelApp = new NetOffice.ExcelApi.Application())
{
var doc = wordApp.Documents.Open("C:\\Users\\John\\Desktop\\test.docx");
var xls = excelApp.Workbooks.Open("C:\\Users\\John\\Desktop\\test.xlsx");
var customProperties = (DocumentProperties)doc.CustomDocumentProperties;
foreach (var property in customProperties)
{
Console.WriteLine(String.Format("Name: {0}, Value: {1}, Type: {2}", property.Name, property.Value, property.Type));
}
customProperties = (DocumentProperties)xls.CustomDocumentProperties;
foreach (var property in customProperties)
{
Console.WriteLine(String.Format("Name: {0}, Value: {1}, Type: {2}", property.Name, property.Value, property.Type));
}
}
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}
That shows the following results:
Name: Custom prop 1, Value: Text Value, Type: msoPropertyTypeString
Name: Custom prop 2, Value: 2/21/2016 12:00:00 AM, Type: msoPropertyTypeDate
Name: Custom prop 3, Value: 42, Type: msoPropertyTypeNumber
Name: Custom prop 4, Value: True, Type: msoPropertyTypeBoolean
Name: Foo, Value: abc, Type: msoPropertyTypeString
Name: Bar, Value: 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM, Type: msoPropertyTypeDate
Name: Baz, Value: 3.14159, Type: msoPropertyTypeFloat
Name: Qux, Value: False, Type: msoPropertyTypeBoolean
For a Word and Excel file with these properties:
I've not worked with these much at all, so I won't be able to go much deeper than this. Hope it helps.
You may use OpenXml SDK from Microsoft. I believe it is able to get any info from word/excel files.
Have a look at this https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/hh674468.aspx also this https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/bb448854.aspx
or
http://openxmldeveloper.org/
There could be a more generic approach.
If your source is a ...x file, the document can be extracted via XML queries.
If you unzip the file (eg.g with 7-Zip) you will find a file called custom.xml in the subfolder docProps.
The properties can easily be found within the XML file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<Properties xmlns="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/custom-properties" xmlns:vt="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/docPropsVTypes">
<property fmtid="{D5CDD505-2E9C-101B-9397-08002B2CF9AE}" pid="2" name="SAPDOKNR">
<vt:lpwstr>10002210058</vt:lpwstr>
</property>

In my WPF c# program, I'm trying to implement a custom pattern for Windows UIAutomation, which means I need to import something that knows about IUIAutomationPatternHandler, and the only way I can find to that is to add a COM reference to UIAutomationCore, and I'm not sure which DLL it's actually importing, but what gets included seems wrong.
For example, the IUIAutomationRegistrar.RegisterPattern method that gets imported looks like this:
void RegisterPattern([In] ref UIAutomationPatternInfo pattern,
out int pPatternId, out int pPatternAvailablePropertyId,
[In] uint propertyIdCount, out int pPropertyIds,
[In] uint eventIdCount, out int pEventIds);
but the C++ documentation says this:
HRESULT RegisterPattern(
[in] const UIAutomationPatternInfo *pattern,
[out] PATTERNID *pPatternId,
[out] PROPERTYID *pPatternAvailablePropertyId,
[in] UINT propertyIdCount,
[out] PROPERTYID *pPropertyIds,
[in] UINT eventIdCount,
[out] EVENTID *pEventIds
);
which is kind of standard COM stuff, where you allocate an array to receive the information, and then pass in the array itself (pPropertyIds) and the size of the array (propertyIdCount) which means the c# import where it thinks pPropertyIds is an "out int" is wrong.
Is adding a COM reference to UIAutomationCore the right way to do this? Or is there a different process that is recommended, to get the correct signature? Or do I just have to do my own manual importing so the parameters are correct?
EDIT
In order to call RegisterPattern, I need a CUIAutomationRegistrar object from the DLL. Normally you just call
var registrar = new UIA.CUIAutomationRegistrar();
and that works, but then in order to call my own version of RegisterPattern(), I need to call InvokeMethod (right?) and when I call
registrar.GetType().GetMethods()
or
registrar.GetType().GetMethod("RegisterPattern")
It claims there's no method named "RegisterPattern", probably because the method is marked
[MethodImpl(MethodImplOptions.InternalCall)]
so it's not actually a "real" method.
EDIT 2
So this works:
var registrar = new UIA.CUIAutomationRegistrar();
MyCopyPaste.IUIAutomationRegistrar myRegistar = (MyCopyPaste.IUIAutomationRegistrar)registrar;
I assume the compiler is actually doing the QueryInterface() behind the scenes, and since MyCopyPaste.IUIAutomationRegistrar has the same UUID as UIA.IUIAutomationRegistrar, the compiler is happy.
But then using 'myRegistrar' is tricky. I modified the RegisterPattern() method in MyCopyPaste.IUIAutomationRegstrar like so:
[MethodImpl(MethodImplOptions.InternalCall)]
void RegisterPattern([In] ref UIAutomationPatternInfo pattern,
out int pPatternId, out int pPatternAvailablePropertyId,
[In] uint propertyIdCount,
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPArray)] int[] pPropertyIds,
[In] uint eventIdCount, out int pEventIds);
which I call like this:
int[] propertyIds = new int[10];
myRegistar.RegisterPattern(ref patternInfo,
out int patternId, out int patternAvailablePropertyId,
10, propertyIds, 0, out int eventIds);
and it throws a "Value does not fall within the expected range." at runtime.

Note that if I change the 'propertyIdCount' to zero, the call works perfectly and returns patternId=50000 and patternAvailablePropertyId=500001:

I also tried defining a single method:

GCHandle methodOutParamTypesHandle = GCHandle.Alloc(methodOutParamTypes);
string[] methodOutParamNames = { "IsValid" };
GCHandle methodOutParamNamesHandle = GCHandle.Alloc(methodOutParamNames);

UIAutomationPatternInfo patternInfo = new()
{
guid = IValidatingPattern.PatternGUID,
pProgrammaticName = IValidatingPattern.PatternName,
providerInterfaceId = typeof(IValidatingPattern).GUID,
cProperties = 0, // (uint)properties.Length,
// struct UIAutomationPropertyInfo *pProperties;
cMethods = 1,
pMethods = (IntPtr)methodsHandle, // struct UIAutomationMethodInfo *pMethods;
cEvents = 0,

pPatternHandler = Handler
};
var registrar = new UIA.CUIAutomationRegistrar();
MyCopyPaste.IUIAutomationRegistrar myRegistar = (MyCopyPaste.IUIAutomationRegistrar)registrar;
int[] propertyIds = new int[10];
myRegistar.RegisterPattern(ref patternInfo,
out int patternId, out int patternAvailablePropertyId,
0/*(uint)properties.Length*/, propertyIds,
0, out int eventIds);
That throws a NullReferenceException.
I could not find out what I'm doing wrong. I think I'm doing everything by the numbers, but it looks like I'm missing something.
On the managed side:
public override List<TimerPair> GetNativeTimers()
{
var listPtr = HgrDll.GetNativeTimers(out var size, out var ptrShift);
if (listPtr == IntPtr.Zero)
throw new NullReferenceException("sounds like the list"
+ " pointer was not given");
var timerPairList = new List<TimerPair>(size);
var structSize = Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(TimerPairStruct2));
for (var i = 0; i < size; i++)
{
var o = Marshal.PtrToStructure<TimerPairStruct2>(listPtr).ToTimerPair();
timerPairList.Add(o);
listPtr += structSize;
}
return timerPairList;
}
The target struct (used for intermediate compute) and class:
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, CharSet = CharSet.Ansi)]
internal struct TimerPairStruct2 : ITimerPairStruct
{
public long Time;
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValTStr, SizeConst=64)]
public string Descr;
public TimerPair ToTimerPair() => new TimerPair(Descr, Time);
}
public class TimerPair
{
public string Descr { get; set; }
public TimeSpan Time { get; set; }
public TimerPair(string descr, long time)
{
Descr = descr;
Time = new TimeSpan(0,0,0,0, (int)((double)time/1000000));
}
}
For the Pinvoke part:
[DllImport("DwarfHomograph.dll", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl)]
internal static extern IntPtr GetNativeTimers(out int size, out int ptrShift);
and now on the native side:
DwarfHgr* DwarfAsset = nullptr;
extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) list<TimerPair>* GetNativeTimers(
int* size,
int* ptrShift)
{
return DwarfAsset->GetNativeTimers(size, ptrShift);
}
the used method from the DwarfHgr class:
list<TimerPair>* DwarfHgr::GetNativeTimers(int* size, int* ptrShift)
{
TimerPairsList = Sw.AsTimerPairs();
*size = static_cast<int>(TimerPairsList.size());
*ptrShift = sizeof(TimerPair);
return &TimerPairsList;
}
and the member is list<TimerPair> TimerPairsList;
The struct I'm marshaling is:
//#pragma pack(push,8)
struct __declspec(dllexport) TimerPair final
{
long long Time{}; // ns
char Descr[64]{};
};
//#pragma pack(pop)
I'm having unit tests in both native and managed sides; the expected result looks like (native):
ImageA processing: 22.0704ms
ImageB processing: 22.0448ms
MatFullA.copyTo: 1.87452ms
MatToSparse: 1.93482ms

I am having an issue working with EnumDisplayDevices in C#. I used the code posted here and it worked seamlessly. However recently I switched to coding the application on my desktop computer. The code no longer works, not giving me anything.
If it helps, my monitor is an LG W2753VC running on an AMD Radeon HD 5770.
Here is my current code:
var device = new DISPLAY_DEVICE();
device.cb = Marshal.SizeOf(device);
try {
for (uint id = 0; EnumDisplayDevices(null, id, ref device, 0); id++) {
device.cb = Marshal.SizeOf(device);
EnumDisplayDevices(device.DeviceName, 0, ref device, 0);
device.cb = Marshal.SizeOf(device);
Console.WriteLine("id={0}, name={1}, devicestring={2}", id, device.DeviceName, device.DeviceString);
if (device.DeviceName == null || device.DeviceName == "") continue;
}
} catch (Exception ex) { }
What I'm getting on my laptop:
id=0, name=\\.\DISPLAY1\Monitor0, devicestring=Generic PnP Monitor
(That should be "Mobile PC Display", but it's not the problem here)
What I'm getting on my desktop:
id=0, name=, devicestring=
id=1, name=, devicestring=
Am I doing this wrong, and if not, is there any other way to get all connected displays? I have already tried the WMI and registry approach.
Hard to tell without you posting all your p/invoke code. Here's code that works on my workstation:

The above code works as the OP desires on my machines, not sure why it won't work on his laptop.
An alternative method to getting the info is listed below, taken from here:

}
catch
{

}
if (!bFailed & (Display != null))
{

foreach (string sMonitorID in Display.GetSubKeyNames())
{
RegistryKey MonitorID = Display.OpenSubKey(sMonitorID);

{
sModel = sDesc.Substring(4).Replace("\0", "").Trim();
}
}
}
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(sPNPID + sSerFind + sModel + sMonitorID))
{
yield return new DisplayDetails(sPNPID, sSerial, sModel, sMonitorID);
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
I had exactly this behavior when device.cb wasn't equal to one of 840 or 224 (sizeof DISPLAY_DEVICEW and DISPLAY_DEVICEA respectively). In my case I just mistakenly wrote device.cb = sizeof(device.cb);
Check value of Marshal.SizeOf(device) on both your computers.
I had the exact same problem and I found out that I was using the following to import EnumDisplayDevices:
[DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
Rather than
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
The code example from GalacticJello is working for me. I forced the build of the assemblies for x86.
In other cases maybe try:
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
public struct DISPLAY_DEVICE`
but this is not working for x86!
I am attempting to pinvoke PFCreateInterface in C# for a packet filtering app. However, the example on pinvoke.net seems inadequately documented. For starters, once StartPacketFilter() in main is called, how can i remove the packet filter programatically without closing the app? Also, i'm also quite confused about the format of the packet string.
I.e hostsToBlock[0] = "67.77.87.97,255.255.255.255,0"; //blocks all traffic on any port to/from 67.77.87.97
How would i go about blocking a remote port of 6980 across all ips?

Hello i want to set IE proxy using a C# program as WebProxy class have get proxy method.But there is no method to set it!
Here are some alternatives found by Googling:
1- GlobalProxySelection
This is from http://www.hccp.org/csharp-http-proxy.html
Sample Code:
System.Net.Uri proxyURI = new System.Net.Uri("http://64.202.165.130:3128");
System.Net.GlobalProxySelection.Select = new System.Net.WebProxy(proxyURI);
2- Another discussion on StackOverflow: Programmatically Set Browser Proxy Settings in C#
Read it if you want the proxy only for your app.
For global change, it suggests looking at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa384113.aspx
Sample Code:
WINHTTP_PROXY_INFO proxyInfo;
// Allocate memory for string members.
proxyInfo.lpszProxy = new WCHAR[25];
proxyInfo.lpszProxyBypass = new WCHAR[25];
// Set the members of the proxy info structure.
proxyInfo.dwAccessType = WINHTTP_ACCESS_TYPE_NAMED_PROXY;
swprintf_s(proxyInfo.lpszProxy, 25, L"proxy_server");
swprintf_s(proxyInfo.lpszProxyBypass, 25, L"<local>");
// Set the default proxy configuration.
if (WinHttpSetDefaultProxyConfiguration( &proxyInfo ))
printf("Proxy Configuration Set.\n");
// Free memory allocated to the strings.
delete [] proxyInfo.lpszProxy;
delete [] proxyInfo.lpszProxyBypass;
3- Using Native Code
This is from http://huddledmasses.org/setting-windows-internet-connection-proxy-from-c/
Sample Code:
using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.ComponentModel;
namespace PoshHttp
{
public class Proxies
{
public static bool UnsetProxy()
{
return SetProxy(null, null);
}
public static bool SetProxy(string strProxy)
{
return SetProxy(strProxy, null);
}
public static bool SetProxy(string strProxy, string exceptions)
{
InternetPerConnOptionList list = new InternetPerConnOptionList();
int optionCount = string.IsNullOrEmpty(strProxy) ? 1 : (string.IsNullOrEmpty(exceptions) ? 2 : 3);
InternetConnectionOption[] options = new InternetConnectionOption[optionCount];
// USE a proxy server ...
options[0].m_Option = PerConnOption.INTERNET_PER_CONN_FLAGS;
options[0].m_Value.m_Int = (int)((optionCount < 2) ? PerConnFlags.PROXY_TYPE_DIRECT : (PerConnFlags.PROXY_TYPE_DIRECT | PerConnFlags.PROXY_TYPE_PROXY));
// use THIS proxy server
if (optionCount > 1)
{
options[1].m_Option = PerConnOption.INTERNET_PER_CONN_PROXY_SERVER;
options[1].m_Value.m_StringPtr = Marshal.StringToHGlobalAuto(strProxy);
// except for these addresses ...
if (optionCount > 2)
{
options[2].m_Option = PerConnOption.INTERNET_PER_CONN_PROXY_BYPASS;
options[2].m_Value.m_StringPtr = Marshal.StringToHGlobalAuto(exceptions);
}
}
// default stuff
list.dwSize = Marshal.SizeOf(list);
list.szConnection = IntPtr.Zero;
list.dwOptionCount = options.Length;
list.dwOptionError = 0;
int optSize = Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(InternetConnectionOption));
// make a pointer out of all that ...
IntPtr optionsPtr = Marshal.AllocCoTaskMem(optSize * options.Length);
// copy the array over into that spot in memory ...
for (int i = 0; i < options.Length; ++i)
{
IntPtr opt = new IntPtr(optionsPtr.ToInt32() + (i * optSize));
Marshal.StructureToPtr(options[i], opt, false);
}
list.options = optionsPtr;
// and then make a pointer out of the whole list
IntPtr ipcoListPtr = Marshal.AllocCoTaskMem((Int32)list.dwSize);
Marshal.StructureToPtr(list, ipcoListPtr, false);
// and finally, call the API method!
int returnvalue = NativeMethods.InternetSetOption(IntPtr.Zero,
InternetOption.INTERNET_OPTION_PER_CONNECTION_OPTION,
ipcoListPtr, list.dwSize) ? -1 : 0;
if (returnvalue == 0)
{ // get the error codes, they might be helpful
returnvalue = Marshal.GetLastWin32Error();
}
// FREE the data ASAP
Marshal.FreeCoTaskMem(optionsPtr);
Marshal.FreeCoTaskMem(ipcoListPtr);
if (returnvalue > 0)
{ // throw the error codes, they might be helpful
throw new Win32Exception(Marshal.GetLastWin32Error());
}
return (returnvalue < 0);
}
