How do I retrieve the properties of a photo taken on a digital camera using .NET?

Answer 1

When I built something similar I used this article quite a bit. But basically you're looking for the EXIF data embedded in the image.

There are a number of great libraries to extract it for you, if you don't want to write it from scratch.

The following article should be helpful.

You probably want to use the BitmapMetadata class in the System.Windows.Media.Imaging namespace.

There is a BitmapMetadata sample that can be downloaded from MSDN.
