IPTC

[Lionel]

Hi,

I need to read the IPTC *keywords* tag from a jpeg file.
I can read all the EXIF tags with this little part of code:

string MyFile = "c:\afile.j peg"
Image MyImage = Image.FromFile( myFile);
System.Text.ASC IIEncoding Value = new System.Text.ASC IIEncoding();
MessageBox.Show (Value.GetStrin g(MyImage.GetPr opertyItem(270) .Value));

Here, 270 is one of the EXIF tags.
But how can i read the IPTC tags ? Just the one containing the Keywords
would be fine !

Thanks !

You can loop through the PropertyItem collection in image.

Using System.Drawing. Imaging;
......
PropertyItem[] pi = MyImage.Propert yItems;
foreach(Propert yItem i in pi)
{// your code}

Thanks, that's what i'm already doing.
But in this way you can only access the EXIF tags, not the IPTC ones.
I have my jpg files with the keywords tag filled, and i can't get the
keywords from it...
