The vecS, listS, ... tags specify how the vertices and edges of the graph
are stored, not anything about properties. You cannot get to the property
storage directly except using boost::get and boost::put (and some other
ways for bundled properties).

That example uses bundled properties
(http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_41_0/libs/graph/doc/bundles.html) which
remove the need for the operations you named.

A function defined as const, or taking the graph as const? What error do
you get?
