how to access property of jpeg file?

[hulk4141]

hi
I want to capture the images into the database on certain time interval.
like when the user give the input of two time(time ::when they are saved in computer) . I have to capture the images which are already saved in the computer by checking the properties of image that whether they lie in that interval or not.If yes then capture this into the database otherwise not.

I know how to capture the images from the pc to database.........but I don't know how to check the properties of image file (jpeg format).I have seen microsoft http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=224351 but i don't know how to use this in my program..................
my program uptill now is

 Dim strdata As String
            Dim str1data As String
            Dim strerror As String
         strdata = ""
        str1data = ("C:\tmp\webmd")

        'Get Directory Info and list of images in specified dir...
        Dim dirinfo As DirectoryInfo = New DirectoryInfo(str1data)
            Dim filearray As FileInfo() = dirinfo.GetFiles("*.jpg")
            'System.IO.FileInfo[] fileArray = dirInfo.GetFiles ("*.bmp") 
            'Connection Objects...
        'Dim objconnection As New SqlConnection



        Me.SqlConnection1.ConnectionString = "workstation id=DFXPCY81;packet size=4096;integrated security=SSPI;data source=""DF" & _ 
                             "XPCY81\RFIDLAB"";persist security info=False;initial catalog=HPD"

            Dim fi As FileInfo
            For Each fi In filearray
                Dim ifilelength As Integer = fi.Length
                strdata = fi.Name
                Dim br As BinaryReader = New BinaryReader(fi.OpenRead())
                Dim bImageData() As Byte = New Byte(ifilelength) {}
                bImageData = br.ReadBytes(ifilelength)
            'Open connection
            Dim objconnection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(Me.SqlConnection1.ConnectionString)
            objconnection.Open()
            'Set Command Object text and params.... 
            Dim objcommand As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand
                objcommand.Connection = objconnection
            objcommand.CommandText = "Insert into sumitImage values(@pImageData,@pImageName)" 
                objcommand.Parameters.Add("@pImageData", SqlDbType.Image)
                objcommand.Parameters.Add("@pImageName", SqlDbType.VarChar)
                objcommand.Parameters("@pImageData").Value = bImageData 
                objcommand.Parameters("@pImageName").Value = strdata
            Try
                'sqlcmdtaglist.ExecuteNonQuery()
                'sqlcmdtaglist.Connection.Close()
                objcommand.ExecuteNonQuery()

                objconnection.Close()
                objconnection.Dispose()

            Catch ex As Exception
                MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString)
                '      strerror = ex.Message
                strerror = Nothing

            End Try
        Next

This program is capturing images from pc to database...........

waiting for your reply.........
THANX..............

The format of a file has no bearing on the timestamp of that file. The FileInfo.CreationTime property and File.GetCreationTime method will both give you the time a file was created.
