Remarks

There are two important methods in this class. BytesFromImage(Stream, Int32) returns a byte array of the raw XMP data. It is used in the DotImage Annotations Toolkit, to load XMP annotations data. ParseFromImage(String, Int32) returns an XmlDocument that can be easily parsed using features in the .NET XML namespace.
