When Click On A File The Bottom Pane Shows The Files Metadata
Apr 19, 2010
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?

At the bottom of the Properties window in the Visual Basic 2010 IDE, there should be a brief description of the selected property. For example "Text: the text associated with thecontrol". But it's reduced to a height of 0 so far as I can tell, and I haven'tfound a way to make it visible. Right-clicking the Properties window and selecting/checking"Description" has no effect. How do I make this pane visible?

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.

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.

I am having trouble with a separate program that keeps saying Adobe flash is not installed. And I have tried everything but it still wont go away (that was off topic a bit). I want to create a program that will auto click the words "Click Here" if the error message shows. Because if I click there then it will work normally until it pops up again.

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 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.

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

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)

[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]........

im creating an array that contains something like this [code]Then i need to make it so when i click on a listview item it searches for the same "Application" name and shows the path.I have everything planned out, but im not sure what i should use to do this.Should i use list(Of string), arraylist or just string(,)?I have no idea of the amount of elements it will contain. I was thinking of using a list so i can use .find without having to make a search function.Anyways, what would be the best/fastest way to do this? Its possible i might have up to 1000 rows in this array, so i want something fastish.

I want to read a PDF file having lots of text, images, tables in it. I want to read the entire file content by content page by page, from top to bottom.
For example:
The top of the page contains the Heading
Then on left hand side the contents and on the right hand side images
So I first want to get the heading then the contents then the images. Is there any Open Source for reading the PDF or any coding reference for .net 2.0 or greater version.
