The Property property of the SummaryInfo object sets or gets the value for the specified property in the summary information stream. The properties are read when the SummaryInfo object is created, but they are not written until the Persist method is called. Setting a property to Empty causes its removal; likewise, requesting a nonexistent property returns an Empty value. Otherwise values may be transferred as strings, integers, or date (date time) types.
