Hi there,

I have been working my way around this forum and am trying to find the DLL to link into my app, all I want is to have Orientation as accurate as I get on this page:

http://exif.regex.info/exif.cgi

which is, I believe,  based upon the tool described here.

I have tried to go to the link suggested to download the ExifToool and DLL(s) but that link doesn't work.

Can someone one guide me to

a) the download
b) documentation

there are pages and pages of posts and I am struggling to find appropriate pages.

many thanks

Exiftool is a perl script and a Windows command line program. Phil Harvey (the writer of the program) doesn't make a DLL. The main page is here and it can be downloaded from there. 

You might take a look at this thread where someone wrote a DLL "wrapper" that would call exiftool.

Another option might be to look at exiv2.  I think they make a Windows DLL, though I could be wrong.
"It didn't work" isn't helpful. What was the exact command used and the output.
Read FAQ #3 and use that cmd
Please use the Code button for exiftool output

Please include your OS/Exiftool version/filetype

Thanks for that StarGeek, in the end I realised that my problem was that my photos on dropbox were being auto rotated by windows 10 based upon orientation property when I was trying to rotate them myself.

The code in .net allows me to do what I want.
