I am facing an encoding issue I can't seem to solve since I'm no real encoding expert...
I am entering XPKeywords information in some of my numerous images in Windows so that I could sort them out later on using these keywords.
I did a test on one of the images, adding some French accented chars such as é, è, à etc...
Adding a keyword containing 'é' for instance displays ok in my French Windows Explorer. However accessing the tag using C#/VB displays "�". I tried all sorts of conversions, googled for XPKeywords and found that XPKeywords seems encoded in UCS-2 but can't still find any way to correctly decode this field so that I can display correct info.
Probably easy but cannot figure it out. Any hint would be greatly appreciated.
Thx
Got this to work. Encoding value used within the GetString function was defined as UTF-8. Changing it to Unicode did the trick. Thanks to all for the heads up!
