Worked like a charm! Specifically:
1. I already had a generic "DocumentProperty" class for different custom
property types for different repositories (including CMIS).
2. I had a "docPropertyToCmis()" method to convert to a simple .Net "object",
to include it in the CMIS properties list I pass to "document.Update()".
3. All I needed to do was cast to "long":
' Copy DocumentProperty object to a new CMIS propertyData object
Private Function docPropertyToCmis(ByVal docProp As DocumentProperty) As
Object
... Select Case docProp.Type Case
DocumentProperty.propType.TYPE_BOOLEAN
Return Boolean.Parse(docProp.Value)
Case DocumentProperty.propType.TYPE_DATETIME
Return DateTime.Parse(docProp.Value)
Case DocumentProperty.propType.TYPE_FLOAT
Return Decimal.Parse(docProp.Value)
Case DocumentProperty.propType.TYPE_INTEGER
Return Long.Parse(docProp.Value)
Case Else
Return docProp.Value
End Select
Anyway - it's working great now. Thank you!

Subject: Re: Unable to update a custom integer property in DotCMIS
Hi Paul,
Please you try setting a long instead of an int:
cmisProperties.Add(propName, 12345L)
The DotCMIS is not very tolerant. Something that should be changed...
