Is there any way to receive the type of a Property of a
com object, with reflection.

What i know now is how to receive the value.

And what i need is the Type of the property.

However, and i do not know how, the Intellisense know
exectly the types of the members / properties of com
object.
So, it can be done.

If you have an interop assembly for the COM library, you can use
Reflection on that just like any other assembly.

The type library includes all information you need/there is. Check
ITypeInfo documentation on MSDN.
