Extended File Properties

[=?Utf-8?B?RGljaw==?=]

I'd like to read a file's "extended" properties, i.e. for some JPEG images
taken with a digital camera, I'd like to read the "Date Picture Taken"
property. I can see this property from the Summary tab (in Advanced mode)
using Windows Explorer.

Re: Extended File Properties

Post your message to a newsgroup with "windows" in the description. They
are on the bottom of the dropdown list in the MS Discussion Group
interface. This is a .Net Programming newsgroup.

Re: Extended File Properties

i guess the authors means to get these additional informations
using .NET.

RE: Extended File Properties

Hi,

I agree with Garfilone here that the properties you're looking for is
actually stored using EXIF (http://www.exif.org). The property should be
"DatePictureTak en" to let you know the "Date Picture Taken" information.

Here's an example exactly listing the "Date Picture Taken" information from
files:

ags_from_JPG_Fi les/article.asp

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Re: Extended File Properties

Thank you for your valuable contribution Robin, however, I do think I've
posted to the correct discussion group.

You, on the other hand, might find it useful to start posting in the group
called "I need to get a Life"!

Re: Extended File Properties

Thanks for your suggestion. I did misunderstand that you wanted to do that
with .net, because it was not clear to me, especially since neither .Net
nor VB nor C# appear in your posting.

If you were a regular reader of this newsgroup, you would see that there
are roughly a dozen or so posts a day from people asking windows questions
because they posted to the wrong group.

Investigation has revealed that this is because they are using Microsoft's
interface to the usenet groups, and the dropdown list does not display the
entire group names, so this one is the first one that shows up as "General
Discussion" and that's all that shows up, nothing about .Net.

So rather than let these poor people post something and sit there wondering
why it was never answered, I let them know they've posted to the wrong
place so they can post to somewhere they can actually get an answer.

I don't mind being corrected when I misunderstand, but you don't have to be
rude when I'm trying to help people. A simple "but this *is* a .Net
question" would suffice.
