如何用C#获得文件信息以及扩展信息

 

在C#中获得文件信息很容易，只需要用FileInfo类或者FileVersionInfo类就可以获得，但是如果想要获得文件的扩展信息，则无法从这两类来获得。不过在C#中，这也不是件难事，只要引入“Microsoft Shell Controls and Automation”这个COM就可以获得。

 

接下来就分别来介绍。

首先介绍FileInfo类，这个类非常简单，首先需要根据文件名来创建FileInfo对象，例如：

using System.IO;

FileInfo fi = new FileInfo( yourFileName );

 

那么以后就可以通过此对象来访问文件一些属性，例如文件大小，创建时间，最后访问时间，最后写入时间等等，还可以通过访问对象的Attributes属性，来获得当前文件是只读、隐藏之类属性，这里我就不细说了，详情参看MSDN。

 

第二个要说的，就是FileSystemInfo类，这个类是FileInfo类的基类，这里也就不多说了。

 

第三个要说的，就是如何判断一个文件的Version信息，这就需要来介绍FileVersionInfo这个类。但是并不是所有的文件都有Version信息，因此在使用FileVersionInfo的时候需要注意的是，最好先判断一下文件的扩展名。不过一个FileVersionInfo类对象不能通过构造函数来创建，需要调用类的静态方法来获得，例如：

using System.Diagnostics;

FileVersionInfo fvi = FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo( yourFileName );

 

通过此对象，可以获得文件的产品名称，公司名，版本号，语言版本，版权等等，这方面详情可以参看MSDN。

 

最后要说的，就是如何得到一个文件的扩展信息，例如标题，作者等等，这些信息从如上三个类中是无法获得。但是要在C#程序中获得，就需要引入一个“Microsoft Shell Controls and Automation”这个COM，这个COM是由系统“Shell32.dll”而提供。这方面的例子，可以参看如下这篇文章。

为了方便大家使用，我把其中类的代码贴出来。

using Shell32; // Use this namespace after add the reference

    ///<summary>

    /// Returns the detailed Information of a given file.

    ///</summary>

    public class CFileInfo

    {

 

        private string sFileName ="",

            sFullFileName="",

            sFileExtension="",

            sFilePath = "",

            sFileType = "";

 

        private long lFileLength = 0,

            lFileVersion = 0;

 

        private DateTime dCreationDate,

            dModificationDate;

 

        public CFileInfo(string sFPath)

        {

           

            // check if the given File exists

            if(File.Exists(sFPath))

            {

                ArrayList aDetailedInfo = new ArrayList();

 

                FileInfo oFInfo = new FileInfo(sFPath);

 

                sFileName = oFInfo.Name;

                sFullFileName = oFInfo.FullName;

                sFileExtension = oFInfo.Extension;

                lFileLength=oFInfo.Length;

                sFilePath = oFInfo.Directory.ToString();

                dCreationDate = oFInfo.CreationTime;

                dModificationDate = oFInfo.LastWriteTime;

               

                #region "read File Details"

               

                aDetailedInfo = GetDetailedFileInfo(sFPath);

 

                foreach(DetailedFileInfo oDFI in aDetailedInfo)

                {

                    switch(oDFI.ID)

                    {

                        case 2:

                            sFileType = oDFI.Value;

                            break;

                        case 9:

                            sFileAuthor = oDFI.Value;

                            break;

                        case 10:

                            sFileTitle = oDFI.Value;

                            break;
