I have been looking for weeks for a way to update the exif metadata on a picture. There have been some individuals who tried to help, and there were others who simply referred me to a website, without any knowledge of the problem, or a possible solution.
Now I will take a different approach.
I will PAY for a working library. I want to be able to do these things from the inside of a VB program. Does anyone know of any commercial packages that will allow me to EASILY update the metadata on a picture? I am sure SOMEONE has already done this successfully. I just don't know if these companies wrote their stuff from scratch, or purchased libraries themselves.
In the database i managed to add pictures through the datagridview.Here's how i did it:
Dim fs As FileStream = New FileStream(mImageFilePath.ToString(), FileMode.Open) Dim img As Byte() = New Byte(fs.Length) {} Dim fs1 As FileStream = New FileStream(mImageFilePath1.ToString(), FileMode.Open)
[Code]......
how can i update the databse? to update a field by adding a photo-but using the sql update command?
The following code allows me to only update data and picture provided I first update the picture. I'm not being able to update data without first updating a picture.
Private Sub cmdEdit_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdEdit.Click Try Dim qry As String
I'm using the ExifTools code to read and update the EXIF for JPEGs in a VB.NET project I am developing. So far I've been successful with doing what I need to but I'm having difficulty with the last thing on my wishlist- the "Keywords" or "Tags" entry. The "Tags" property (as accessed by file right-click->properties->Details and just below the rating stars) is populated with information but if I use the PropertyItem for Keywords (Value 40094) with the ExifTools GetPropertyValue() function, it returns nothing.
It's pretty obvious that the "Tags" entry under file properties is not the same thing as what EXIF defines as "Keywords" but I have not been able to figure out what the correct PropertyItem value to pass is.
I am working on a project where I create image files from calculations done from user inputs. The work is saved as jpg images in various sized and I want to add EXIF data to the saved filed and later on retreive these data again so the user can continue working on the basis of a re-opened image file as I hope to store the project variables as metadata in the image file.
I'm looking to create a csv file of image_names, latitude, and longitude extracted from EXIF headers of several jpegs. I'm having trouble parsing the lat and long byte array items to decimal or ascii. Here is what I have so far.[code]...
I have an app which I want to use exifworks to set the date on a scanned image this is the property of the class ExifWorks
Public Property DateTimeOriginal() As DateTime Get Try Return DateTime.ParseExact(Me.GetPropertyString(TagNames.ExifDTOrig), "yyyy:MM:dd HH:mm:ss", Nothing) Catch ex As Exception
[code]....
What is the format for setting date on this property?
How can I access the EXIF data stored in a Nikon NEF file? I can't seem to find a lib that will allow me to extract some basic information from the metadata. (Preferably without having to install the Nikon codec)
I have many jpg images from a camera, I add a description using exifworks to modify exif data. What is the difference between saving as format.jpeg or format.exif. I had been saving as jpeg with no differences noted but which is correct & why?
I'd like to look into extracting EXIF tags/data from jpg images. I've looked around but can't seem to see any simple example. Anyone able to point me into the direction of pulling out the model/date values etc out of EXIF data?
I've almost finished my multimedia project. On the photobrowser (which constructs thumbnails of every photo in a folder and draws them onto a bitmap which I then make persistent and from which the user can select a thumbnail and the image is shown in full on a new form). You can print the bitmap consisting of 100s of thumbnails or the full image associated with a thumbnail. The onloy thing missing is getting all the Exif info - which is proving more difficult than I expected despite the propetyitems in vb.net. Yes, I have set the encoding to UTF8 etc.
I read a lot about changing the metadata of music or images, but what about normal executable? How do I edit the comment / title of them? I am using .NET 2
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 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 see more than a few questions asking how to read metadata from an image, but I haven't seen as many asking how to write metadata. Basically, I need to add one item of metadata ("ImageDescription") to a PNG image I'm generating dynamically (creating a Bitmap object and procedurally generating all the content in it).
What would be the best way to add metadata to an image with .NET either before or just after writing the file to disk?
I'm very new here and I wonder if you can help me with this.I need to get the metadata from an image file, the basic data like Image Type, Image Width,ColorModel, I already found out how to get but there are some that i dont have a clue how to retrieve:
Pixels Depth/Colors , Creation Software (for example Adobe Illustrator ) and ImageResolution (in pixels/dots per inch)
Early on the OP was asked "how will you get the data about your music?" and it went into a whole other direction, but that's what I'm here to show: Another way to get the data about your music without dependence on the metadata.The music that I have has fairly extensive tags embedded but as I've discovered, that's not the case with all of them. It's a good starting point I suppose but is there another way? Let me jump to the end, then in the next several posts, we'll dissect the parts of it. My goal was use "only out of the components and methods" and this is what we end up with: Aside from the rudimentary things like song duration, how about if we could get a host of information about the songs, including the cover art? As shown in the example above, some also will have a link to additional information. The additional information may even contain a way to watch a music video for that song like this: Further, some will even contain what I call "Liner Notes" like this:
If this interests you, read on ...This isn't a new thought at all; I've explored this area before. Have a look at this on Code Project. Now before you go thinking that you've found the keys to the kingdom, I should explain a little minor issue about that - it doesn't work! In that, he relies heavily on three web services: Amazon Web Service MusicBrainz LyricWiki Amazon has significantly modified their service such that his methods don't work now. If you follow the posts following the thread, you'll see a few people have tried workarounds but over the years, even those stopped working because apparently they (Amazon) are in a state of flux regarding their API. LyricWiki is still alive and well, but - the music recording industry forced them to no longer offer their service to developers. MusicBrainz is in fact a heck of a resource and if you're at all interested in this topic, I would encourage you to have a look around. It's odd to work with, but it's chock full of good information and they're constantly adding to it or so it seems. All that said, this example won't use any of those but rather a different service all together: Last Dot FM. I can't say that I know much about them, but I happened onto them a few months back when I was first experimenting with all this stuff.
So I wanted to check when last a table was changed, and I basically came up with this query:
SELECT DB_name(database_id) as [Database],OBJECT_NAME(object_id ,database_id) AS DatabaseName, last_user_update FROM sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats where DB_name(database_id) = 'Database Name'
Now what I want to do is put this in my code using LINQ. I have added the view to my datacontext and all that good stuff, but I don't really know how to do the SQL built in functions DB_Name and OBJECT_Name. I realise that I could do some sort of join to get the values for the id's instead, but I don't know which views I can find the database name and object name in.
Is there a linq equivalent to these functions? Alternatively, what are the system tables/views I need to look at to convert these ID's into their respective names?
Is there way to set custom metadata to files of any type? I want the metadata to be copied when the file is renamed, moved or copied. I don't want to use ADS.
Im trying to load the DataBindingLab from MSDN [URL]and im getting the error "Unable to load the metadata for assembly DataBindingLab". Does anyone know how i would be able to resolve this. The next part of the error is "The system cannot find the file specified" but no information as to which file is missing is provided...
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.
I'm working a business layer (separate assembly) that will contain various business entities used in multiple client applications. One of the client applications is a WCF app that will need to serialize these entities. In order to properly serialize the entities, metadata for data contracts or for XML serialization must be added, but the serialization requirements may vary across applications.
Clearly I need the metadata separated from the class definition. So how do I add metadata to my entities for each separate application?
why is the datareader closed? I had to change this from a stored procedure to dynamic because our IT guy was encountering trouble changing the sp permissions.. so there's definitely a time factor
Dim cmd3 As New SqlCommand cmd3.Connection = connect Dim dr2 As SqlDataReader
I'm using VS2010 Express. I have a VB.net project, where I need to find the metadata of individual files; Artist, Author, Comments, etc. (Specifically I need to find the video length in time of .wtv files). I have searched, but could only find VB6 examples and other code snippets that simply didn't work as they required some retired com or dll to do it. How do I do it in the latest VB.net? NOT VB6, C# or anything else. VB.Net in Visual Studio 2010 Express.
I'm making a (F1) part for my application. I made a form with a Webbrowser-control and I made several .html files. Now I would like that the users enter a keyword and that they see all the files where that keyword is found in the metatag <keyword>. What is the best (and fastest) way to search for that?
