    I am writing a file toucher which amends the file creation date of a scanned in jpg file and also renames it. I have based the app on the file picker sample in c++. I am new to metro and I do not know how to initialise the IkeyValuePair parameter to pass to SavePropertiesAsync()

    I have tried

    task<BasicProperties^> getBasicPropertiesTask(file->GetBasicPropertiesAsync());
return getBasicPropertiesTask.then([=](BasicProperties^ stateFileProperties)
{
	typedef Windows::Foundation::Collections::IKeyValuePair<Platform::String^, Platform::Object^> KVPair;

	auto size = unsigned int(stateFileProperties->Size);
	auto itemdate = stateFileProperties->ItemDate;
	auto datemodified = stateFileProperties->DateModified;
	try
	{
	    auto propertyToSave = new IKeyValuePair<Platform::String^, Platform::Object^>();
	    stateFileProperties.SavePropertiesAsync(propertyToSave);
	}
	catch (Platform::Exception^)
	{
	}
						
});

    But I get a warning for the creation of IKeyValuePair.

    Can you furnish me with the correct syntax please.

    Thanks MikeBr47

    Hello,

    You can use the below code to set properties in general. However, you cannot modify the DateCreated property (System.DateCreated) since it is read-only. See this link for more information: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/br227171.aspx.

    If you were trying to set properties for an image, such as LensManufacturer or a CameraManufacturer, then you could use the below code:

    create_task(file->GetBasicPropertiesAsync()).then([this](BasicProperties^ stateFileProperties){
         auto size = unsigned int(stateFileProperties->Size);
         auto itemdate = stateFileProperties->ItemDate;
         auto datemodified = stateFileProperties->DateModified;
         try
         {
          PropertySet^ ps = ref new PropertySet();
          ps->Insert("System.Photo.LensManufacturer", ref new String(L"the greatest lens manufacturer"));
          ps->Insert("System.Photo.CameraManufacturer", ref new String(L"the greatest camera manufacturer"));
          stateFileProperties->SavePropertiesAsync(ps);
         }
         catch (Platform::Exception^)
         {
         }
        });

    Thanks,

    Prashant.
