Remove Custom Document Properties

In this tutorial, we will walk you through the C# source code to remove custom properties from a document with Aspose.Words for .NET. This feature allows you to remove a specific custom property from a document.

Step 1: Project Setup

To get started, create a new C# project in your favorite IDE. Make sure the Aspose.Words for .NET library is referenced in your project.

Step 2: Loading the document

In this step, we will load the Word document from which we want to remove the custom properties. Use the following code to load the document:

// Path to the documents directory.
string dataDir = "YOUR DOCUMENTS DIRECTORY";
Document doc = new Document(dataDir + "Properties.docx");

Replace "YOUR DOCUMENTS DIRECTORY" with the actual path of the directory where your document is located.

Step 3: Deleting custom properties

Now let’s remove a specific custom property from the document. Use the following code:

doc.CustomDocumentProperties.Remove("Authorized Date");

This code removes the “Authorized Date” custom property from the document. You can replace “Authorized Date” with the name of the custom property you want to remove.

Example source code for Remove Custom Document Properties using Aspose.Words for .NET

	// The path to the documents directory.
	string dataDir = "YOUR DOCUMENT DIRECTORY";
	Document doc = new Document(dataDir + "Properties.docx");
	doc.CustomDocumentProperties.Remove("Authorized Date");
	

Be sure to specify the correct document path in the dataDir variable.

You have now learned how to remove custom properties from a document using Aspose.Words for .NET. By following the step-by-step guide provided in this tutorial, you can easily remove custom properties from your own documents.
