Getting TSID property from a .tif file

Question

Hello everybody is there anyway to get a TSID property from a .tif file? I tried using the FileInfo however the only properties available are the normal ones. So any ideas?

Yes you are correct. The TSID is a property of the FaxTiff Object and I have read the MSDN link you provided (thx man). Unfortunately the only example provided is in VB... (there is no equivalent form of CreateObject in C#) Perhaps it would be better if I explain my intentions in finding the TSID property. My Exchange Server 2003 machine uses a fax modem to receive fax (receive only). I set the modem to route the incoming faxes to a certain email (fax@domain.com). However the fax console showed that the routing failed for every fax that went in. I have no idea why. I tried searching the net for a solution. Sadly it was no where to be found. I finally found a way to get the TSID value of a tif file. I searched the activityLog text file and extract the value. So I tried creating a small program that sends email messages to users with the tif file as attachments and the TSID property in the subject because the TSID usually contains the sender's phone no. Thanks for your help Alan really appreciate it.

I don't think that a TSID (transmitting station ID) is actually a property of a .tif file itself but a property of a fax client object such as FaxDoc etc. Were you perhaps thinking of the Tsid property of the FaxTiff object? http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms692346(VS.85).aspx
