Try the following code. You'll need to add a reference to Microsoft Shell Controls and Automation which is under the COM tab: using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.IO; using Shell32; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; class Program { [STAThread] static void Main() { string filePath = @C:\Users\Public\Music\Sample Music\Kalimba.mp3; // use full path here ShowFileDetails(filePath); Console.ReadKey(); } static void ShowFileDetails(string filePath) { if(!File.Exists(filePath)) { Console.WriteLine(File doesn't exist); return; } Shell sh = new Shell32.Shell(); Folder f = sh.NameSpace(Path.GetDirectoryName(filePath)); FolderItem fi = f.ParseName(Path.GetFileName(filePath)); List headers = new List (); for (int i = 0; i { string header = f.GetDetailsOf(null i); if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(header))break; headers.Add(header); } for (int i = 0; i { string value = f.GetDetailsOf(fi i); if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(value)) continue; if (value[0] > 126) value = value.Substring(1); Console.WriteLine({03} {1} : {2} i headers[i] value); } Marshal.ReleaseComObject(fi); Marshal.ReleaseComObject(f); Marshal.ReleaseComObject(sh); } }
