If you need to update properties only, this code snippet might help (updates the "Part Number"):

Dictionary<ACW.PropDef, object> mPropDictonary = new Dictionary<ACW.PropDef, object>(); ACW.PropDef[] propDefs = conn.WebServiceManager.PropertyService.GetPropertyDefinitionsByEntityClassId("FILE"); ACW.PropDef propDef = propDefs.SingleOrDefault(n => n.SysName == "PartNumber"); mPropDictonary.Add(propDef, mNewNumber); UpdateFileProperties((ACW.File)mFileIt, mPropDictonary);

If you need to check out, edit geometry, and check in a file, you can submit the comment within the check-in command like this:

mUploadedFile = conn.FileManager.CheckinFile(results.FileResults.First().File, "Created by iLogic-Vault rule", false, null, null, false, null, ACW.FileClassification.None, false, vdfPath);

You can review the context of both snippets here: https://github.com/koechlm/iLogic-Vault/blob/2022/iLogic-Vault-QuickstartLibrary/iLogic-Vault%20QuickstartLibrary.cs

I hope this helps.
