WPF and custom XMP attributes

Question

Hi all.

I'm attempting to define a custom xmp schema using BitmapMetadata, and have run into a bit of a hitch.

The short version of my code looks something like this:

BitmapMetadata meta = SomeBitmapFrame.Metadata.Clone() as BitmapMetaData;
meta.SetQuery("/xmp/dc:MyCustomDC", new BitmapMetadata("xmpbag"));
meta.SetQuery("/xmp/dc:MyCustomDC/MyCustomProp", "test string"); // throws exception "Property cannot be found."

Could someone point out what I'm doing wrong?


Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure you want xmpbag, you probably want xmpstruct.

Also you need to make sure you've added padding to the file. I've written a bunch of blogs on using WIC:
