The ExifWorks class

2009-01-11

I have written a small program that renames image files in a fashion that they will be sorted in a chronological order by photo date when they are sorted on the filename. To do this, I had to extract the EXIF information to be able to read the photo date. Michal Altair Valasek has written an open source class, ExifWorks, in Visual Basic that does this. To use the class, pass a photo to its constructor, and then use properties access the EXIF data. At The Code Project you can read more about the class, and registered users can download it. The PhotoName application can be downloaded here.
