Can I Change JPEG Properties -> Details -> Tags with C#

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

If you are using Windows, and if you right click on a JPEG file, choose Properties, and click the Details tab, you can add/remove/update "Tags".

You can also retrieve those tags with a PowerShell script that exploits the Shell, calling IShellFolder2::GetDetailsOf().

What I really want though, is a way to add/remove/update those tags from my C#/ASP.NET application. So as a user uploads their photo into the web app, it is tagged with a super special secret code that identifies the photo to our Digital Asset Management (third party) software, and our PowerShell scripts (in house) that climb the directory looking for those tags.

Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks

It's called EXIF data, and there is a good library to handle it here: ExifLibrary for .NET[^]
