  Console.WriteLine(documentCustomProperty.Value);
}
// built-in properties are available through the Project class
var project = new Project("Project.mpp");
Console.WriteLine(project.Get(Prj.Title));
Console.WriteLine(project.Get(Prj.Author));
// ... etc.

New meta properties API

// custom properties are available through the typed collection
foreach (var property in project.CustomProps)
{
   Console.WriteLine(property.Type);
   Console.WriteLine(property.Name);
