Gets the data type of the property.

Example

Enumerates through all built-in and custom properties in a document using indexed access.

[C#]

string fileName = MyDir + "Properties.doc";
Document doc = new Document(fileName);

Console.WriteLine("1. Document name: {0}", fileName);

Console.WriteLine("2. Buil-in Properties");
for (int i = 0; i < doc.BuiltInDocumentProperties.Count; i++)
{
    DocumentProperty prop = doc.BuiltInDocumentProperties[i];
    Console.WriteLine("{0}({1}) : {2}", prop.Name, prop.Type, prop.Value);
}

Console.WriteLine("3. Custom Properties");
for (int i = 0; i < doc.CustomDocumentProperties.Count; i++)
{
    DocumentProperty prop = doc.CustomDocumentProperties[i];
    Console.WriteLine("{0}({1}) : {2}", prop.Name, prop.Type, prop.Value);
}

[Visual Basic]

Dim fileName As String = MyDir & "Properties.doc"
Dim doc As Document = New Document(fileName)

Console.WriteLine("1. Document name: {0}", fileName)

Console.WriteLine("2. Buil-in Properties")
Dim i As Integer = 0
Do While i < doc.BuiltInDocumentProperties.Count
    Dim prop As DocumentProperty = doc.BuiltInDocumentProperties(i)
    Console.WriteLine("{0}({1}) : {2}", prop.Name, prop.Type, prop.Value)
    i += 1
Loop

Console.WriteLine("3. Custom Properties")
i = 0
Do While i < doc.CustomDocumentProperties.Count
    Dim prop As DocumentProperty = doc.CustomDocumentProperties(i)
    Console.WriteLine("{0}({1}) : {2}", prop.Name, prop.Type, prop.Value)
    i += 1
Loop

[C#]

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "Properties.doc");

foreach (DocumentProperty prop in doc.CustomDocumentProperties)
{
    Console.WriteLine(prop.Name);
    switch (prop.Type)
    {
        case PropertyType.String:
            Console.WriteLine("It's a string value.");
            Console.WriteLine(prop.ToString());
            break;
        case PropertyType.Boolean:
            Console.WriteLine("It's a boolean value.");
            Console.WriteLine(prop.ToBool());
            break;
        case PropertyType.Number:
            Console.WriteLine("It's an integer value.");
            Console.WriteLine(prop.ToInt());
            break;
        case PropertyType.DateTime:
            Console.WriteLine("It's a date time value.");
            Console.WriteLine(prop.ToDateTime());
            break;
        case PropertyType.Double:
            Console.WriteLine("It's a double value.");
            Console.WriteLine(prop.ToDouble());
            break;
        case PropertyType.Other:
            Console.WriteLine("Other value.");
            break;
        default:
            throw new Exception("Unknown property type.");
    }
}

[Visual Basic]

Dim doc As Document = New Document(MyDir & "Properties.doc")

For Each prop As DocumentProperty In doc.CustomDocumentProperties
    Console.WriteLine(prop.Name)
    Select Case prop.Type
        Case PropertyType.String
            Console.WriteLine("It's a string value.")
            Console.WriteLine(prop.ToString())
        Case PropertyType.Boolean
            Console.WriteLine("It's a boolean value.")
            Console.WriteLine(prop.ToBool())
        Case PropertyType.Number
            Console.WriteLine("It's an integer value.")
            Console.WriteLine(prop.ToInt())
        Case PropertyType.DateTime
            Console.WriteLine("It's a date time value.")
