c# - Get Image Orientation and rotate as per orientation

Question

having problem in getting image orientation with below code

    string fileName = @"D:......1012015004435.jpeg";

    int rotate = 0;
    using (var image = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(fileName))
    {
        foreach (var prop in image.PropertyItems)
        {
            if (prop.Id == 0x112)
            {
                if (prop.Value[0] == 6)
                    rotate = 90;
                if (prop.Value[0] == 8)
                    rotate = -90;
                if (prop.Value[0] == 3)
                    rotate = 180;
                prop.Value[0] = 1;
            }
        }
    }

and after get proper orientation i used to rotate image like

private static RotateFlipType OrientationToFlipType(string orientation)
{
    switch (int.Parse(orientation))
    {
        case 1:
            return RotateFlipType.RotateNoneFlipNone;
            break;
        case 2:
            return RotateFlipType.RotateNoneFlipX;
            break;
        case 3:
            return RotateFlipType.Rotate180FlipNone;
            break;
        case 4:
            return RotateFlipType.Rotate180FlipX;
            break;
        case 5:
            return RotateFlipType.Rotate90FlipX;
            break;
        case 6:
            return RotateFlipType.Rotate90FlipNone;
            break;
        case 7:
            return RotateFlipType.Rotate270FlipX;
            break;
        case 8:
            return RotateFlipType.Rotate270FlipNone;
            break;
        default:
            return RotateFlipType.RotateNoneFlipNone;
    }
}

but problem is in first code

prop.Id i always get [20625]

prop.Id == 20625

so not satisfy the condition every time please let me know if any problem or other option

thanks

There's probably enough information in the other answers and comments to put this all together, but here's a working code example.

This extension method will take a System.Drawing Image, read its Exif Orientation tag (if present), and flip/rotate it (if necessary).

private const int exifOrientationID = 0x112; //274

public static void ExifRotate(this Image img)
{
    if (!img.PropertyIdList.Contains(exifOrientationID))
        return;

    var prop = img.GetPropertyItem(exifOrientationID);
    int val = BitConverter.ToUInt16(prop.Value, 0);
    var rot = RotateFlipType.RotateNoneFlipNone;

    if (val == 3 || val == 4)
        rot = RotateFlipType.Rotate180FlipNone;
    else if (val == 5 || val == 6)
        rot = RotateFlipType.Rotate90FlipNone;
    else if (val == 7 || val == 8)
        rot = RotateFlipType.Rotate270FlipNone;

    if (val == 2 || val == 4 || val == 5 || val == 7)
        rot |= RotateFlipType.RotateNoneFlipX;

    if (rot != RotateFlipType.RotateNoneFlipNone)
        img.RotateFlip(rot);
}
