Possible To Embed MetaData Into File?
Jan 9, 2009
I have some PDF files that my application generates and stores on my machine. Now each file has a persons name and address string related to it in a database. E.g.
Filename | FirstName | Email
The files can be selected within the application UI and emailed out. Now I don't want to have to hit the database each time since there are alot of files. So , how embed the two strings FirstName and Email into the file itself, so when I load it into a FileInfo object there is someway to access the extra data.

I am currently trying to create a simple application that will show me the metadata for a wmv file (I'm not trying to get the data for any other video file type at the moment) but I am having some trouble finding a way of doing this.
I have Googled and I have found some downloads that you can get to do this for you, but I would prefer to do this without having to use any third party components. I would have thought that this would be possible maybe through windows media player component or something.

I am developing desktop applications using .NET 1.0,1.1 thru VS 2002. I need your help. I want to view/modify file metadata like Author, Title, Company, etc. that file may be a txt / doc / exe / xml / html / pdf any format... I found an example for this in CodeProject site. In that project they give dsofile.dll and source code for viewing/modifying file metadata. I tried to register that dll using regsvr32.exe (regsvr32 dsofile.dll). But it couldn't be registered. even i tried to download setup file from microsoft site but it was not found. Please help me to view/modify file metadata info.

Does VB 2010 offer native support for reading and modifying ID3 metadata in MP3 files? A brief search through MSDN shows me nothing, and I see someone says he had to write his own library of code for it. But that was some years ago, when you had to write code to access JPEG Exif metadata, and I know that's changed with the Image class and the GetPropertyItem method; so I'm hoping MP3 files have their own methods and properties now for this.

I'm editing jpg metadata and when I'm finished the file is less than half the size but ok, IE I can see modified tags correctly via windows explorer. But if I edit the same file again its down to 16k and corrupted. The image being edited is the standard desert.jpg found in the picturessample pictures directory.
I'm using the following
Public Sub Put_FileMetadata(ByRef glb_UserArray() As String, ByRef glb_SecurityArray() As String, ByRef glb_InputParms() As String, ByRef glb_InError As Boolean, ByRef glb_ErrorNumArray() As Long, ByRef glb_ErrorDescArray() As String)
On Error GoTo error_handler

In windows explorer on Windows 7 (and Vista I believe), when you click on a file the bottom pane shows the files metadata. What I am particularly interested is the files Tag. If you click into the tag field, Windows will give you a list of tags. The list appears to be random and incomplete. So I have two questions. Is there a way to retrieve a list of a file tags on the system and is there a way to add to the list of tags in the Windows file pane?

How do I Edit and Save Image EXIF / Metadata / FileInfo without using an external DLL?
Project:I'm building an app for personal use to rename, retag, and organize the apocalyptic quantity of images I host on my personal website. As I have been collecting funny pictures and such for several years, there is no real rhyme or reason to the file naming conventions. Ergo, Image0001.jpg needs to be renamed to a descriptive filename, and the Metadata fields need to be filled in.
The desired process will take an existing jpg, gif, png, tiff or bmp and do the following:
load image into memory
convert bmp files to jpgs if needed (for a smaller file size, mostly)
load image tags into ImageData Structure (see below)

[2] convert bmp files to jpgs if needed (for a smaller file size, mostly)
[3] load image tags into ImageData Structure (see below)
[4] load file data into ImageData Structure (where needed)
[5] display image and tags for user to edit (In a Picture Box and several Text Boxes)
[6] allow editing of fields and renaming of the file
[7] write the changes to the image file
[8] go to next file.
Example:
[1] Load Image0001.jpg. Populate ImageData Structure fields.
[2] Type in Description: "lolcat ceiling cat sends son".
[3] ImageData.FileName changed to "lolcat-ceiling-cat-sends-son.jpg".
[4] ImageData.Name, .Keywords, .Title, .Subject, and .Comments changed to "lolcat ceiling cat sends son".
[5] Save file with new filename and save all new tag fields.
(Later, I will also be using SQL to build a referential database with links to the online copies of these files to allow for searching by keywords, subject, filename, etc, but that's another layer that's much easier than this one. At least to me.)
Problem:So far, several days of research have yielded almost no measurable progress. Information has apparently been inexplicably hidden behind a bunch of unexpected search keywords. Current Code as is:
Imports System.IO
Imports System.IO.Path
Imports System.Drawing.Imaging[code]........

I have a file (Microsoft.PhotoToolboxFoundation.ToolboxPolicy.xml) which is read by the following code:
p = (New
MetadataPolicyManager()).loadPolicy("Microsoft.PhotoToolboxFoundation.ToolboxPolicy.xml").
Is there a way to embed the file into the .dll? Can I add the file as a resource or something similar and if so how would I reference it?

I know that is strange situation, but I need to embed an EXE file (or the assembly code) into my project, so it can be started only by the application (it can't create the EXE in the filesystem and start it)...
Is it possible? Edit:It's not a .NET EXE. Anyway I added the Test.exe file as a resource to my project and I did this
Dim exestr As Stream = Nothing
Dim a As Assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly
exestr = a.GetManifestResourceStream("Test.exe")

Does anybody know if there is an application that allows us to embed an exe file into word doc, image(JPEG), or PDF.
Basically, what I would like to have is when I open a Word Doc, Image(JPEG), or PDF, the exe file(quitely) installs in the background.

I've just moved an external dll into a folder different from the main exe directory, so I had to use the <probing> command in an app.config file. Now however, the application won't find the dll unless I have the app.config file in the same directory as the main exe! So how can I embed the app.config file in the EXE, or alternatively move it to the folder called 'Resources' where I store the external

I know how to add a resource to my project and I also know how to add an icon to my application. What I could not figure out is how to embed another icon for custom file types - I do know what registry entries to add / modify though, I am just not able to add a 2nd icon as resource to my profile and make it 'accessible', so, that the Windows System can display it for files with my custom extension.

I have seen the previous topic in regards to this error/situation, however I was unable to find a solution to this issue as it pertains to my program in VS 2010.Essentially I frequently have this error, up to three times, when I'm working with my program. I've tried removing all of my resource files, reducing the number and completely re-creating my program. It eventually comes to a point when I can't work around these errors.I also frequently get the system.outofmemoryexception and have had VS shut down completely when I attempt certain tasks, it's happened twice in the past hour already. There's been one other, not likely related issue, whenever I attempt to change the startup form via the project>properties window, I am not able to accurately set the correct startup form. What I mean by this is, the only forms on that list are forms that were previously in the program (form2, form4) and now I have specific names for each form, neither being "form2" or "form4". When I attempt to debug, the program runs on a big blank 800x600 grey form.

I have had this issue for quite a while. In fact since VS2005 it concerns me more because so few other people report it.During a build, from the VB IDE I get the following errorvbc : error BC30143: Unable to embed resource file xthis continues for approximate 38 files. The associated system error is &H8007000e - this system error suggests a memory issue. I do have 4GB RAM in my dev machine. I am running Vista SP2 (although I have had this error since XP)I have tried the /3GB switch and the largeaddressaware 'fix', but this can cause issue with other applications.
If I get the above error in the IDE and then go and do a command line build, there is no problem.Periodically I also get numerous system.outofmemoryexception, this can happen when I try and open a form for editing for example. Other times the 38 entries can appear under a number ocircumstances, such as closing a formas if there is some kind of background compile going on (which I am sure there is).The above problems may not be related, but given the memory link of the 2 errors I think they are.

Just adding a file to my application so when it is published the file(s) goes with it is not enough, this application has links in it so when you click the links the file and it corosponding application open. I can link to the file on my computer easily, but this application is going to be distributed via CD or DVD so i need these file to go with them or the links are useless. I would just point the links at the cd drive, however not all PC's have the same drive letter making a default drive link a little complicated( yes im a newbie ). Here is a sample of what im working with, i want to link to 3 file types .docx, .pdf(thanks ADOBE SDK), .ppt and the like. so far the applications are working great so all i need is either how to add all of these files to myapp and link internally or some knowledge on how to write a link to the CDROM drive as oppossed to the D: or E: drive specifically. Here is a snip of a MSWORD link-

I'm creating a Rijndael file encryption application. I will using a unique IV for each file encryption.
My question: Where is the proper place to embed the IV info?
My initial thought is to append it at the end of the file's content. Is that a good choice?
