Public Overloads Sub ExtractXMPMetadata( _ 
   ByVal sourceFileName As String, _

)

public: 
void ExtractXMPMetadata(  
   String^ sourceFileName, 
   String^ destFileName 
)

Parameters

sourceFileName
A String containing the source image file from which the metadata should be read.

destFileName
A String containing the destination filename to which the metadata should be written in XML format.

The file referenced by sourceFileName must be a file format that supports XMP. For example PNG, PDF, JPEG, TIFF and SVG.

To determine if a file format supports XMP, use MetadataItemsSupported.

using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.Codecs; 
using Leadtools.ImageProcessing; 
using Leadtools.ImageProcessing.Color; 
using Leadtools.Svg; 
 
 
public static void ExtractXMPMetadataExample() 
{ 
	// The source file 
	string srcFileName = Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.ImagesDir, "Leadtools.pdf"); 
	string xmlFileName = Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.ImagesDir, "XMP.xml"); 
	string dstFileName = Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.ImagesDir, "cannon.jpg"); 
 
	using (var codecs = new RasterCodecs()) 
	{ 
		try 
		{ 
			//Extract XMP Metadata & save it to a XML file. 
			codecs.ExtractXMPMetadata(srcFileName, xmlFileName); 
 
			/* 
			 Add/Update Metadata in the XML file using any XML parser(if needed). 
			*/ 
 
			//Save XMP Metadata to a destination file using XML file that contains XMP Metadata. 
			codecs.SaveXMPMetadata(xmlFileName, dstFileName);
