What ID enum are you refering too? Can you give a snippet of how you would like to refer to an iProperty?

[FRPT1257]

What I want is an direct way in C# to get/set the value of a iProperty.

Not just for the main document but for the referenced documents too.

Follow the table with the list of iProperties with ProtertyName/Id/Id Enum.

To use the propId the most straight forward way will be 

doc.PropertySets[name / index].ItemByPropId(propId)

where doc a document object.

It is possible get the type of the property? If is String, Date, IPictureDispLong, Currency or Boolean?

Apparently the "Property.Type() As ObjectTypeEnum" returns always "kPropertyObject" and not if is String, Date, IPictureDispLong, Currency or Boolean

Simplest way to get the type of the value is to test if the Property.value is not null, then get the result of the GetType .NET method. This will return the .NET type of the value.

Property.Value.GetType()

You still want to know what property you are refering to because it may be a calculater result in which you need to use Property.Expression to get the expression calulation since the Value will just be the result.
