I've found all sorts of threads about extracting file icons, and I'm able to do that no problem, but I would like to also extract some other information from a file (like you can find in the properties window), such as the file description. Are there any commands that are geared specifically toward getting this information?

I have a program made in VB that on a button click extracts a exe file from its resources to the HDD then runs the program and deletes it after it closes. I first used the desktop to extract the file to, but seeing as I need to use this program on several computers the account names will be different so this is of no use. I've tried using C: but access is denied.

What I am trying to do, using the above example, is to look for anywhere in the list where a date(e.g Mon24) is followed by lines containing KL ####, and to extract the date and the KL #### for writting to a database.

I am trying to extract text from a .pptx file. I am able to extract from all other shapes except a shape that is identified as a msoPicture to right click on this shape in powerpoint and ungroup it, but when I try to do this from code it tell me that the ungroup method only applied to group shapes.I did some research and found out that the msopicture shape comes from a .emf file but I don't have the least idea how to ungroup this shape or get the text from it through code.NB: When I right click on the shape in powerpoint and select ungroup a message box pops up saying "This is an imported picture, not a group. Do you want to convert it to a Microsoft Office drawing object?". But I cannot seem to find a way in code to convert this shape to Ms Office drawing object.

I have a csv file with 48 columns of data. I need to open this file, place it into a data structure and then search that data and present it in a DataRepeater. So far I have successfully used CSVReader to extract the data and bind it to myDataRepeater. However I am now struggling to place the data in a table so that I can filter the results. I do not want to use SQL or any other database.
So far, this is working in returning all records: Private Sub BindCsv() ' open the file "data.csv" which is a CSV file with headers" Dim dirInfo As New DirectoryInfo(Server.MapPath("~/ftp/")) Dim fileLocation As String = dirInfo.ToString & "data.txt" Using csv As New CsvReader(New StreamReader(fileLocation), True) [Code] .....

Which is the easiest way I could get the file details / properties under windows? I am not talking about common properties (such as file size, creation date), but the ones written by variuos software. In my particular case I need to get the detail called "Date taken" for a jpg image file.
I could use PHP,Java or VB.NET, whatever is easier.My final goal: I have a bunch of images I took with different versions of Android on my phone. They are all named with different naming convention, most of them just something like IMG_[consecutive_numbers].jpg. So I want to rename them all, but for that I need their original creation date, and since I have moved them from my pc to the phone and back so many times, I cannot trust the "creation date" property. I found that all of them have a property which was set by the camera called "Date taken", which is still intact and valid.
