You might want to look at this post "iProperties Without Inventor (Apprentice)". In the post, they use vb.net. I translated to C# (but did not test it.) it looks something like this:

Inventor.ApprenticeServerComponent apprentice = new Inventor.ApprenticeServerComponent();
Inventor.ApprenticeServerDocument apprenticeDoc = apprentice.Open(Filename);

Inventor.PropertySet summaryPropSet = apprenticeDoc.PropertySets["Inventor Document Summary Information"];
Inventor.Property companyProp = summaryPropSet["Company"];
companyProp.Value = "www.hjalte.nl";

apprenticeDoc.PropertySets.FlushToFile();

apprenticeDoc.Close();

Thank you for your response JelteDeJong.

Inventor.ApprenticeServerComponent apprentice = new Inventor.ApprenticeServerComponent();
Inventor.ApprenticeServerDocument apprenticeDoc = apprentice.Open(Filename);
Inventor.PropertySet summaryPropSet = apprenticeDoc.PropertySets["Inventor Document Summary Information"];
Inventor.Property companyProp = summaryPropSet["Company"];
companyProp.Value = "www.hjalte.nl";
apprenticeDoc.PropertySets.FlushToFile();
apprenticeDoc.Close();

The above code it is working fine for Console Application(C#) or Windows Application(C#).
But in class library (dll) it is not working.
Can you please let me know is there any solution is there to execute in class library (dll).

Thanks & Regards,
Vijay

Is the platform target for your application using the DLL set to x64? It cannot be 'Any CPU'

Edit:  Just to clarify, it can't be 'Any CPU' with 'Prefer 32-bit' checked (which is the default).  So either unchecking 'Prefer 32-bit' with 'Any CPU' or selecting x64 will work.
