How to access JPEG EXIF tags

Accessing JPEG EXIF tags

[C#]

public static void JPEG_EXIFtag(IRasterDataset exifDataset)
{
    //exifDataset represents a raster dataset opened from a JPEG file that has EXIF tags.
    IDataset dataset=(IDataset)exifDataset;
    //Get the EXIF tags and the associated values.
    IPropertySet propertySet=dataset.PropertySet;
    System.Object tag_names;
    System.Object tag_values;
    propertySet.GetAllProperties(out tag_names, out tag_values);
    string[] stringNames=(string[])tag_names;
    object[] stringValues=(object[])tag_values;
    for (int i=0; i < stringNames.Length - 1; i++)
    {
        System.Console.WriteLine(stringNames[i]);
        System.Console.WriteLine(stringValues[i]);
    }
}

[VB.NET]

Public Shared Sub JPEG_EXIFtag(ByVal exifDataset As IRasterDataset)
'exifDataset represents a raster dataset opened from a JPEG file that has EXIF tags.
Dim dataset As IDataset=CType(exifDataset, IDataset)

'Get the EXIF tags and the associated values.
Dim propertySet As IPropertySet=dataset.PropertySet
Dim tag_names As System.Object
Dim tag_values As System.Object

propertySet.GetAllProperties(tag_names, tag_values)
    Dim stringNames() As String=CType(tag_names, String())
    Dim stringValues() As Object=CType(tag_values, Object())
    
    Dim i As Integer
    For i=0 To stringNames.Length -1 - 1 Step i + 1
        System.Console.WriteLine(stringNames(i))
        System.Console.WriteLine(stringValues(i))
    Next
End Sub
