how to enumerate custom properties?

[Heidi]

I'm trying to enumerate the custom properties on a word document using C# and
I am not having any luck. Does anyone either have an example or know where I
am going wrong?

I've been trying variations on the following:
CustomProperties properties = (CustomProperties)
wrdDoc.CustomDocumentProperties;

//System.Collections.IEnumerator pEnumerator = properties.GetEnumerator();
//for (int i=0;i< properties.Count;i++)
foreach (CustomProperty thisProperty in (CustomProperty)properties.GetItems())
{
//CustomProperty thisProperty = (CustomProperty)
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.get_item( i);
//CustomProperty thisProperty = (CustomProperty) properties;
string pName = thisProperty.Name;
string pValue = thisProperty.Value.ToString();
string pType = thisProperty.Value.GetType().FullName;
pType = string.Empty;
}


getEnumerator shows up in intellisense but won't compile. if I try to use
properties I get an error that says I should try to access get_item
directly but I get a compiler error from that - and it doesn't show up in
intelllisense.

thanks!

Search the Knowledge Base on the msdn site at microsoft.com. There is an article
in there dealing with automating custom doc props using C#

Yes, I had seen this article but I was hoping for something that was simpler
to read and maintain. I decided to use the component microsoft has made
available for setting properties on documents. In the end, it fit better into
the structure of my project.

Thanks for your time,
