I'm making an picture manager for personal use, and was wondering if it's possible to list up more information of an image. For instance, In Windows 7 there is a feature when I left click one time at a picture I get a little thumbnail and some information about the picture, like: Dimensions, ISO-Speed, Camera producer, blitz mode etc.
So my question is; How can this be implemented to Visual Basic 2010?
-to know when the file was created (i remember that it is possible as i've done it before)-if there are any other copies of the same file in the entire pc

I am using VB2005 and trying to put an application together.What it needs to do is retrieve information from a binary file, possibly alter that information, and put it back into a new file.The file is a .wav file with data appened to the end. There is an additional section at the end of the .wav file which stores xml data.I have found that if I open this in a hex editor and make a 1:1 swap on any of the bytes that the application that the file is for can still read the XML.If I tried to add or remove characters from the XML then it would not read. I located a header byte and incremented it to resolve this.
This worked as an excellent bandage to do conversions where the data always needed to be changed to the same thing.What I have been asked to do is build logic that allows for different things to happen depending upon what data is contained within the file.The method that I am currently trying to impliment is:
Read through the file with a system.io.binaryreader
Searche for a bytestream that will signal data is coming
For example:
If System.IO.File.Exists("C: est estread.wav") Then
Dim findit() As Integer = New Integer() {&H3C, &H55, &H73, &H72, &H44, &H65, &H66, &H30, &H31, &H30}
Dim i As Integer[code].....
And then extract all the data till the end of element marker "<" It seemed like there should be a better way and I was looking for some insight. If I proceed with this method, I will have to read the file one time to gather the information and then a second time to write it all out with the header modified for length.This is my first experiene with working with binary files in this way.Also,I've been experiementing with building a string and slapping it back in at the end using the binarywriter.write(string) method.I noticed that it was putting in header characters before the string.These seem to change if I change the length of the string.At one point it was d0 07. Later it became e7 07. Does anyone know of a way to prevent this header from being inserted?
I tried a for each loop to grab all of the characters from the string, convert them to a byte array and deposit the byte array into the file, but the header remained the same. When I write the byte array generated from a system.io.binaryreader I do not get this header.
Somebody would know to show some function to solve my doubt?

I'm trying to make a Lottery program on visual basic 2008, but there's one thing that I am stuck with.Note: My explanation may be hard to understand, so if you would rather have me send you my code and see how it works, I'm fine with that. My code is pretty long so far, so I didn't know if i should post it on here.
My program has 6 picture boxes lined up horizontally, and has one text box underneath each one. There is a play and stop button on the bottom left corner.I've altered my program to have animations for the picture boxes. Instead of having a random picture picked, I have it so that each picture box scrolls through a series of 10 numbers when the user presses play.
When the player presses stop, the picture boxes stops scrolling, and random pictures are displayed in each box. (The picture is really just a black circle with a number in it).The text boxes below the picture boxes are for the user to put numbers in. These are the numbers they select for the lottery. Now this is my predicament. Since the picture boxes decides what the winning lotto numbers are, how can I compare the numbers in the text box to the pictures?
Basically i am creating a console application that will create and store client information as a .txt file it is going okay but i have come across a slight hick up i want to use something on the lines of this .....
dim lastname as string
Do Until Integer.TryParse(Console.ReadLine(), LastName) = False
Console.WriteLine("Invalid input, Please try again")
Console.Write("LastName:-")
[code].....
this works fine to trap out numbers from letters but the problem i am getting is when the program calls uppon LastName it is recording 0 and wanted to know if there is a way of getting past this ..... so basically i need a way to allow letter but not numbers and symbols and then dispay a pernolised error message but at the same time use Stream writer to save was the answer is in a .txt file.

I am writing an app which gets information from a website. Basically I load the webpage into a webbrowser control and parse the document text for what I need.
My problem is: I have a German version of windows. The webpage returned has the German version of the webpage. I require the English version but there is no way of specifying the language in the URL, so it must be picking up the default language of my operating system. How can I override this, is there a property of the Webbrowser control which I can set?
I want to extract some information from a web site (Bloomberg). This side has a search textbox with a onKeyUp event that, as far as I can understand, uses AJAX to create a table. Is it possible to insert some text in the textbox and then get the table created with AJAX? Given the source code of the page with the tabled already AJAXed (If you understand what I want to say here), I can easily retrieve the table. I just need to get the source code with the table already on it.
