Hi. I'm having some difficulties trying to determine the format of a file when it has an EXIF embedded.
The problem is that the 'OriginalFormat' property reports 'RasterImageFormat.Exif', and I can't even find out whether it's a TIFF, a BMP, or a JPG. Let alone the encoding.
I'll appreciate your assistance.
Thanks in advance.

To determine the file format of an image please do as follows
1. Before loading the image you need to call the RasterCodecs.GetInformation Method to get the information about the specified image.
2. Examine the CodecsImageInfo.Format Property to know the format of the image.

You can use the following VB.NET code lines demonstrate the above:

Dim Imageformat As String
Dim ImageInfo As CodecsImageInfo = codecs.GetInformation("c:\TEST.jpg", False)
Imageformat = ImageInfo.Format.ToString()
MsgBox(Imageformat)
