[C#]

XImageLoadOptions loadOptions = new XImageLoadOptions();
loadOptions.ReadIPTC = true;
XImage image = XImage.FromFile(Server.MapPath("rez/ipct2.jpg"), loadOptions);
if (image.IPTC != null) {
  Response.Write(image.IPTC["Headline"].Text);
  Response.Write("<br>");
  Response.Write(image.IPTC["Caption"].Text);
  Response.Write("<br>");
}

[Visual Basic]

Dim loadOptions As New XImageLoadOptions()
loadOptions.ReadIPTC = True
Dim image As XImage = XImage.FromFile(Server.MapPath("rez/ipct2.jpg"), loadOptions)
If image.IPTC IsNot Nothing Then
  Response.Write(image.IPTC("Headline").Text)
  Response.Write("<br>")
  Response.Write(image.IPTC("Caption").Text)
  Response.Write("<br>")
End If

This example writes the Headline and Caption from a TIFF file. An error will be raised if the IPTC data does not contain a headline and caption.
