Since my web host was changed and the content was lost, I've moved the code to CodePlex. I've pruned the samples, and &lt;A href="http://rwlodarcmsdnblog.codeplex.com/" mce_href="http://rwlodarcmsdnblog.codeplex.com/"&gt;made them availabled here&lt;/A&gt;. What's included:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Converting WPF BitmapSource &amp;lt;-&amp;gt; GDI+ Bitmap&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Metadata Walker&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Using WPF InPlaceBitmapMetadataWriter&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Also, the code for WICExplorer and WICCop are available from MSDN. &lt;A href="http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/wictools" mce_href="http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/wictools"&gt;They are available here&lt;/A&gt;. What's included:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;WICExplorer: Base bones metadata and image viewer built using WIC&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;WICCop: Tool used to verify that the WIC CODEC Guidelines have been properly implemented. Also includes C# COM Interop interface definitions for WIC.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=9916323" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/rwlodarc/archive/tags/WPF/default.aspx">WPF</category><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/rwlodarc/archive/tags/Windows+Vista/default.aspx">Windows Vista</category><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/rwlodarc/archive/tags/Imaging/default.aspx">Imaging</category><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/rwlodarc/archive/tags/Windows+7/default.aspx">Windows 7</category></item><item><title>WIC in Windows 7 Pre-Beta</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/rwlodarc/archive/2008/10/28/wic-in-windows-7-pre-beta.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 28 Oct 2008 23:44:44 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:9020930</guid><dc:creator>RWlodarczyk</dc:creator><slash:comments>2</slash:comments><comments>http://blogs.msdn.com/rwlodarc/comments/9020930.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://blogs.msdn.com/rwlodarc/commentrss.aspx?PostID=9020930</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;With this morning's keynote on Windows 7, I can finally share details about what's changed in WIC in Windows 7! We've spent much time fixing many issues that both our customers and we found since we shipped Windows Vista. We also added a number of important features that were asked for by customers. Here's a list of new features and improvements you'll find:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;Enhanced metadata support&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;ul&gt;     &lt;li&gt;GIF: &lt;/li&gt;      &lt;ul&gt;       &lt;li&gt;Metadata handlers exposed, enabling developers to gain access to the animation information. These include Logical Screen Descriptor (LSD), Image Descriptor (IMD), Graphic Control Extensions (GCE), Application Extensions (APE), Comment.&lt;/li&gt;     &lt;/ul&gt;      &lt;li&gt;PNG: &lt;/li&gt;      &lt;ul&gt;       &lt;li&gt;New metadata handlers added, including iTXT, gAMA, bKGD, cHRM, iCCP, sRGB, tIME.&lt;/li&gt;     &lt;/ul&gt;      &lt;li&gt;JPEG: &lt;/li&gt;      &lt;ul&gt;       &lt;li&gt;New metadata handlers added, including Comments, Chrominance, Luminance.&lt;/li&gt;        &lt;li&gt;Ability to read spanned APP13 blocks.&lt;/li&gt;     &lt;/ul&gt;      &lt;li&gt;Existing metadata handlers:&lt;/li&gt;      &lt;ul&gt;       &lt;li&gt;Many bug fixes!&lt;/li&gt;     &lt;/ul&gt;   &lt;/ul&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Enhanced TIFF support&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;ul&gt;     &lt;li&gt;Support for tiled, planar, and JPEG compressed TIFFs&lt;/li&gt;   &lt;/ul&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Cross-apartment and MTA support.&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;IWICPixelFormatInfo2&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;ul&gt;     &lt;li&gt;Adds information about transparency and numeric representation of the pixel format.&lt;/li&gt;   &lt;/ul&gt;    &lt;li&gt;IWICProgressiveLevelControl&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;ul&gt;     &lt;li&gt;This allows developers to gain access to an image's progressive levels.&lt;/li&gt;      &lt;li&gt;Supports on GIF, PNG, and JPEG.&lt;/li&gt;   &lt;/ul&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Additional Pixel Formats, including ones for high color&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;If you have any questions about WIC on Windows 7, please feel free to either &lt;a href="mailto:codecs@microsoft.com"&gt;email us&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href="http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=1874&amp;amp;SiteID=1"&gt;visit the forums&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=9020930" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/rwlodarc/archive/tags/Imaging/default.aspx">Imaging</category><category domain="http://blogs.msdn.com/rwlodarc/archive/tags/Windows+7/default.aspx">Windows 7</category></item></channel></rss>
