Hello,

You need to import necessary namespaces:

Code: Select all

Imports Vintasoft.Imaging.Codecs.Jpeg
Imports Vintasoft.Imaging.Codecs.Tiff

Thanks for that, however I included:

Code: Select all

Imports Vintasoft.Imaging
Imports Vintasoft.Imaging.Codecs.Jpeg
Imports Vintasoft.Imaging.Codecs.Tiff
though all three come up with warnings, "Namespace or type specified in the Imports 'Vintasoft.Imaging.Codecs.Tiff' doesn't contain any public member or cannot be found. Make sure the namespace or the type is defined and contains at least one public member. Make sure the imported element name doesn't use any aliases."

Any suggestions?
Thanks

Have you added reference to Vintasoft.Imaging.dll from your project?

If yes, please send your project for tests to support@vintasoft.com

Hey I have downloaded the SDK, referenced the Vintasoft.Imaging.dll into Visual Basic, however:
The line
code]Using jpegStream As FileStream = New FileStream("..\..\geotag005.jpg", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)[[/code]
Shows up as an error, being undefined, with the option to add "Import System.io
So I did that, which removed that particular error, but now:

Code: Select all

Dim exif As ExifData = jpeg.Exif
shows up as an error, Error --- "Vintasoft.Imaging.Codecs.Jpeg.JpegFile"
Thanks

Since version 5.0.3 the JpegFile.Exif property was moved to JpegPage.Exif.

You should use this code:

Code: Select all

Dim exif As ExifData = jpeg.Page.Exif

Thanks works much better :D
However is there any way to make this into readable, standard GPS long/lat format? Currently if I copy everything into Microsoft Word, there are 12 pages of assorted statements and numbers.
Thanks
