I am currently developing applications with the latest Visual Studio 2008, .NET and more and it appears that it shouldn't be too hard to write such a thing.

Help! I'm looking for an image viewing software that will also display embedded metadata.
I do not need this software to have editing capabilities - we just need something simple. We want this software for a museum, so visitors can view different galleries, or search by tags/keywords that we've already embedded into the photos. We have the original images stored on a separate computer and organized with portfolio 8 software. we have portfolio browser, but it just looks confusing for the average person, although the buttons are 'deactivated' so no one can click 'delete' and loose a photo or edit a photo in any way.
Because it is to be used by the general public, we want this software to be simple...not too many buttons to click lest we confuse the viewer.
any ideas?
thanks!
