thank you.

if want read image metadata such title, author, camera make, model, etc., stored in image header exif.

they can retrieved using propertyitems. every property tag identified hexadecimal value , can find them here , here.

'create image object.  dim img image = image.fromfile("c:\ashish\apple.jpg")  'get propertyitems property image. dim propitems propertyitem() = img.propertyitems  dim encoding new system.text.asciiencoding()  dim title string = encoding.getstring(propitems(0).value) dim manufacturer string = encoding.getstring(propitems(1).value) 

a simple implementation read exif metadata available here.
