Example

This example demonstrates how to specify the standard and custom document properties for a workbook using the IXlDocument.Properties and XlDocumentProperties.Custom properties, respectively.

Use the IXlDocument.Properties property to access the XlDocumentProperties object. This object provides a set of properties that allow you to specify basic information about a workbook, such as XlDocumentProperties.Title, XlDocumentProperties.Author, XlDocumentProperties.Subject, etc.

The XlDocumentProperties.Custom property allows you to get access to the XlDocumentCustomProperties object, which represents a storage of custom document properties. To set a value of a custom property with the specified name, use the XlDocumentCustomProperties.Item property. You can set a custom property to any object of the String, Double, DateTime or Boolean type. The specified object will be converted to the XlCustomPropertyValue object and assigned to the custom property. To get the type of the data contained in a custom document property, use the XlCustomPropertyValue.Type property.
