 Retrieve embedded information from jpg file (digital camera picture)

I'd like to retrieve the embedded information stored with a jpg file that
comes from a digital camera.  For example, the file includes information
such as focal length, shutter speed, aperture, etc., etc.  I'm assuming that
this information is accessible from the PropertItem object in the
Image.PropertyItems collection but after that I'm having some trouble with
the syntax.  Are there any examples of this (using VB.NET) out there?  Any
help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance...

Hi,

Here is an example using VB.NET. This will show you the correct syntax of
using it.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpgu...
l/_gdiplus_reading_metadata_useCSharp.asp

As for which ID corresponds to the properties in interest, I guess you need
to refer to the EXIF spec. For example, I found in the following document a
table that seems promising: Table 5 Exif IFD Attribute Information(2)

HTH.
