Extracting Collection Date From Basemap

Question

When Identifying a Basemap (specifically ESRI Imagery) in ArcMap, you can see certain properties about it such as the collection date. I'm wondering how I can achieve the same effect from the code side. I've obtained the IMap object, Basemap ILayer from within, and I'm looping over the properties after doing an Identify (which is depressingly slow). I want to know how I can access the Field/Value dictionary associated with these properties, the COM object doesn't make it very obvious.
