Join David Gassner for an in-depth discussion in this video Overview of my solution, part of Code Clinic: C# (2014).
- The primary focus of this month's challenge…is reading metadata from image files.…But we also have to handle folder recursion,…that is starting at a top-level folder…and recursing through its subfolder structure.…My solution in C# requires access…to the operating-system resources.…I have to be able to find and read image files…and support other operating-system features.…I also will need to incorporate some third-party libraries…such as Adobe's XMP Toolkit to get…all the data I'm looking for.…
The solution for this month's challenge…has been built with Windows Presentation Foundation,…or WPF.…It could have also been built with Windows Forms,…and resulted in pretty much the same output.…The first challenge turns out to be the easiest in .NET.…We have to start from a top-level folder…and then recurse through the subfolders,…and find all of the files in all of those folders.…In some languages, you would create a function…and you would call that function for the top-level folder.…
It would then look for all the subfolders…
