My desire is to modify or write to the properties of an image file durring upload to the server and then read thode properties later at the time the image file (*.jpg) is accessed. I could right click the image file on my local machine and select >Properties >Summary >and change the Title, Author, Subject, Comments... to my desired values. However I would like a web form that I can impliment to provide these values when I upload the file from a clients computer.

I could use a database to store this information in, but if I can find a way to read this information It will greatly please me. I have searched a range of places and I haven't yet found anything related to reading and writing of file property information other than size width and height.

Any input or comments are apreciated
I am spicificaly looking to do this with ASP, ASP.Net, VB, ect.... I am willing to explore any solutions you may offer.

Thank You in advance

Look into the System.IO.File.SetAttributes class.
