Overview
The Microsoft Developer Support OLE File Property Reader 2.0 Sample demonstrates how to use the OLE IPropertyStrorage interface to read and write the document properties of OLE files, such as the properties of native Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Publisher, and Microsoft Visio files, independent of the application that created the file. The sample includes a binary COM component and the component source code, which developers working in managed code (VB.NET or C#) or scripting languages (VBScript, JScript, ASP) can use to better enhance their ability to index, search, organize or edit the properties of OLE files from custom projects."

I've used older versions of this DLL on a number of projects. It's nice to see MS continuing to support and improve it.
