How do I edit the properties of a DWG file from C# Application

Hi all,
How can I view or edit the properties within a DWG file from a C# application (not from within AutoCAD)
Ideally I would like to do this without the need for AutoCAD to be installed on the machine, but if this is not possible information on how to do this with AutoCAD available would be useful.
In particular I am looking to do the following:
 - Get & Set Attributes within a specified Block
 - Get & Set Fields within the file.
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks,
James

Thanks for the feedback.
I assume that there is no way to do this without AutoCAD being installed?
To your statement, "I assume that there is no way to do this without AutoCAD being installed?", you are correct the AutoCAD API's give you access to the functions in the AutoCAD applications and therefore must be installed.
Thanks a lot for the information.
