Ho to read extended file attributes in c#

How can I read extended attributes from a file ?
For example I have tiff file and with it there are connected some additional
information Width, Height, Pages etc.

I couldn't find any usefull information how to read it. Is there easy way
without using COM object like in the problems with office file ?

Greetings

I think that it depends of the file type, you have to know the file
type first, then where and which are the "properties" not of the file
but of the data contained in the file
