Hi,

You can use these extension methods.

/// <summary> /// Gets the value of a custom property. /// </summary> /// <param name="db">Database the method applys to.</param> /// <param name="key">Property key.</param> /// <returns>The property value or null if not found.</returns> public static string GetCustomProperty(this Database db, string key) { DatabaseSummaryInfoBuilder sumInfo = new DatabaseSummaryInfoBuilder(db.SummaryInfo); IDictionary custProps = sumInfo.CustomPropertyTable; return ((string)custProps[key]).Trim(); } /// <summary> /// Gets the Database properties. /// </summary> /// <param name="db">Database the method applys to.</param> /// <returns>A dictionary containing the custom properties.</returns> public static Dictionary<string, string> GetCustomProperties(this Database db) { Dictionary<string, string> result = new Dictionary<string, string>(); IDictionaryEnumerator dictEnum = db.SummaryInfo.CustomProperties; while (dictEnum.MoveNext()) { DictionaryEntry entry = dictEnum.Entry; result.Add((string)entry.Key, ((string)entry.Value).Trim()); } return result; } /// <summary> /// Sets the value of an existing property or create it if it didn't exist. /// </summary> /// <param name="db">Database the method applys to.</param> /// <param name="key">Property key.</param> /// <param name="value">Property value.</param> public static void SetCustomProperty(this Database db, string key, string value) { DatabaseSummaryInfoBuilder infoBuilder = new DatabaseSummaryInfoBuilder(db.SummaryInfo); IDictionary custProps = infoBuilder.CustomPropertyTable; if (custProps.Contains(key)) custProps[key] = value; else custProps.Add(key, value); db.SummaryInfo = infoBuilder.ToDatabaseSummaryInfo(); } /// <summary> /// Sets the values of existing properties or create those which didn't exist. /// </summary> /// <param name="db">Database the method applys to.</param> /// <param name="values">Key/Value pairs for the properties.</param> public static void SetCustomProperties(this Database db, params KeyValuePair<string, string>[] values) { DatabaseSummaryInfoBuilder infoBuilder = new DatabaseSummaryInfoBuilder(db.SummaryInfo); IDictionary custProps = infoBuilder.CustomPropertyTable; foreach (KeyValuePair<string, string> pair in values) { string key = pair.Key; if (custProps.Contains(key)) custProps[key] = pair.Value; else custProps.Add(key, pair.Value); } db.SummaryInfo = infoBuilder.ToDatabaseSummaryInfo(); }
