Properties of .exe files

[vvlad]

Hi,

Is there a way to read the properties of an EXE file at run-time?

I want to build an exe and clone it, than based on its title or some other property decide at run-time what actions to performe.

Thanks

Look into DirectoryInfo and .GetFiles()

google will treat you well

Unfortunately I could not find the answer. And I also googled a lot before asking that question.

Which properties are you looking for?

 

[JurkMonkey]

using System.IO;

string directory = Server.MapPath("Music/Dave");
	DirectoryInfo dirInfo = new DirectoryInfo(directory);
	FileInfo[] fileInfo = dirInfo.GetFiles("*.mp3");
	
	MusicBean[] beans  = new MusicBean[fileInfo.Length];
	
	
	
	for (int i = 0; i < fileInfo.Length; i++)
	{
		beans[i] = new MusicBean();
		beans[i].name = fileInfo[i].Name;
		beans[i].created = fileInfo[i].CreationTime.ToShortDateString();
		beans[i].fileSize = (fileInfo[i].Length / 1024).ToString("# ###") + "kb";
		beans[i].musicURL = @"Music/Dave/" + fileInfo[i].Name;
	}

This is what I do on one of my websites. It gets all the files in a directory and displays each file's properties.

Thanks for answering JunkMonkey, but I guess my question was not clear enough.

I am not interested in the name or size of the file, but in properties like title, author, comments, properties that one can set by right-clicking the file name and going to Properties->Summary.

I would guess that what you want can be found here:
