Add tags to JPG files

rotsey

Hi, Anyone know how to add Tags to JPG files using C# or VB.NET in Vista??? I have a XP dev box so I want to do dev it from there? Malcolm

Hi Malcolm, You should google "EXIF C++", I believe there is some sample code on the second link (CodeGuru[^]) but if not, the google search should help you find something, I've done it in PHP but not C++ so can't help with the actual code. regards,

Jonathan, Are we talking about the same thing? I am talking about the Tag property in Vista. This is where you right click and bring up properties in explorer for jpg and other files. Malcolm

I believe so, the rest of the information on the property page for an image in Vista is the EXIF info, the tag itself will also be stored in the photo and is more metadata than EXIF but is definately stored in the photo itself which is why you can only tag certain file types. One problem with editing these tags is that it might break the ability of other applications to read the original file's metadata (EXIF) due to the fact that each graphics package / camera manufacture seems to use these tags sightly differently. regards,
