I'd like to find a way to read AND write exif data of an image with Silverlight.

I couldn't find any sample code or library doing this, so I don't know if it's even possible?

Thanks

Update : I need to write (edit or add if necessary) exif data and more precisely the "Software" tag.

  • [What is the best EXIF library for .Net?](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/42017/what-is-the-best-exif-library-for-net) isn't specifically about Silverlight, but it should provide a starting point. – Matthew Flaschen Aug 18 '10 at 22:14
  • @Matthew Indeed, this quesiton provides a starting point but lots of libraries I found rely on the GDI+ classes located in System.Drawing.Imaging, wich is not available with Silverlight. – Olivier Payen Aug 19 '10 at 13:30

At work we use this, in a WPF Application so it might help

This is how you would read in SL: Understanding and Reading Exif Data. As the author is using FileInfo for this, the concept of reading can likely be reversed for writing (TIFF - Little Endian).
