I am using dsofile to get document properties for various Office files. This appears to leave the file(s) locked after I retrieve the information. Is there a way to eliminate this locking?

Should I even be using dsofile with VB.net? I am new to this. I read somewhere that the functionality of dsofile may already be included in .net but cannot find specifics.

Any information would be helpful.:confused:

Thanks

I had the same problem, and solved this by releasing the com-object with
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(ComObject), then calling GC.Collect() to ensure the objects are unloaded.

AFAIK there is no Structured Storage or document summary related classes namespaces in .net framework.
Please correct me if I am wrong, as I am very interrested in replacing my unmanaged code with managed...
