Properties Property

  • Article

The Properties property of the SPFile class gets metadata for the file.

Property Value

A System.Collections.Hashtable object that contains the metadata.

Remarks

The object model does not support updating file metadata.

Example

This example retrives the "date" property.

myDataRow["DateTime"] = Convert.ToDateTime(myfile.Properties["date"]).ToUniversalTime();

The following code example iterates through the collection of files in a document library and displays the properties and values for each file.

This example requires using directives (Imports in Visual Basic) for the Microsoft.SharePoint, Microsoft.SharePoint.Utilities, and Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls namespaces.

The previous example displays metadata like the following:

vti_cachedtitle :: New Page 1
