Custom tab in file properties dialog

I want to show some additional info in file properties dialog in Windows for some specified types. For example, add new tab "Summary" for *.txt files and show there number of words, number of lines, etc.

I can use C++ and C#. But file summary is collected by .NET library, so I'd prefer to delegate this task to .NET to the extent possible.
