What is the best EXIF library for .Net?

Question

I am looking for simple straightforward solution for accessing EXIF information of jpeg images in .Net. Does anybody has experience with this?

Answer 1

A new and very fast library is ExifLib - A Fast Exif Data Extractor for .NET 2.0 by Simon McKenzie. I ended up using this one and the code is easy to use and understand. I used it for an app to rename according to the date taken. I wonder how many times such an app has been written.

My tip: Make sure to call Dispose on the ExifReader objects once you've finished with them or the files remain open.
