The custom properties are stored in a StringDictionary
(a standard framework class), that always converts
the key to lower case.
I don't know how that affects custom properties with
keys that may have uppercase characters if it was
ever possible to do that, but my guess is the indexer
will treat them as different items, which is not good.
If you have older drawings with custom properties
whose names are not all lower case, you might want
to test them to see what what happens when you try
to access them via the API.

Hi everybody
I am running the following code
Dim db As New Database(False, True)
Dim builder As New DatabaseSummaryInfoBuilder
db.ReadDwgFile(localFullFileName, IO.FileShare.ReadWrite, False, Nothing)
builder.CustomProperties.Item("MyKey") = "someValue"
db.SummaryInfo = builder.ToDatabaseSummaryInfo
db.SaveAs(localFullFileName, DwgVersion.Current)
It works fine, it writes the custom property and its value.The problem I have, it writes the custom key property named MyKey in lower case ( mykey ), the value of this property (someValue) is written fine though. Any idea how to make it write the key value without the lower case conversion?
Any ideas I appreciate
Thanks
Raul
