Take a look at this[^] Article from VSJ.

I found this by searching on .net bitmap metadata, so if that article doesn't help, give it a go and try some of the other hits.

Hello there,

Take a look at this stackoverflow answer[^] and this blog post[^] on how to use InPlaceBitmapMetadataWriter to write to metadata.

Also here[^] for the write path/s for System.Keywords photo metadata (tags).

Thanks for the info Henry Minute
Nice info I read it all ... But its too old I am working in C# 3.5 .Net Windows form
And were the good info comes its about WPF ( witch i have never used before... first time i see it thanks to this article it looks cool)

"Of course you could just opt to create a WPF application and forget about Windows Forms, but what about existing applications?"

i have this code witch i think i found here some were ...
the thing is that reading and showing that metadata its no problem

C#

private void ImageInfo_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    FileInfo fileInfo = new FileInfo(imageHandler.BitmapPath);
    lblImageName.Text = fileInfo.Name.Replace(fileInfo.Extension, "");
    lblImageExtension.Text = fileInfo.Extension;
    string loc = fileInfo.DirectoryName;
    if (loc.Length > 50)
        loc = loc.Substring(0, 15) + "..." + loc.Substring(loc.LastIndexOf("\\"));
    lblImageLocation.Text = loc;
    lblImageDimension.Text = imageHandler.CurrentBitmap.Width + " x " + imageHandler.CurrentBitmap.Height;
    lblImageSize.Text = (fileInfo.Length / 1024.0).ToString("0.0") + " KB";
    lblImageCreatedOn.Text = fileInfo.CreationTime.ToString("dddd MMMM dd, yyyy");

}

The problem is how to write the TAG with the purpose mentioned above.
Thanks for your Time and kindness
