Dear members of the forum,
I'm working on a project in which I have to use Image recognition technique. 
Due to client restrictions, I couldn't use AutoIt for this project. 
Is there a way to use this DLL "ImageSearchDLL.dll" (which is used to do image recognition steps in AutoIt) in VB.Net to achieve the same result? 
I have used this DLL few years before and got good results. If there is a latest version of this DLL and if you can share it, that will be helpful too.
Any guidance is deeply appreciated.

This project has been discontinued!
 
Here a small tool I wrote to update my Sysinternal tools collection without the need to download always the whole package or visiting the site to check for updates. I know that there are several tools available (also some tools written in AutoIt) but here another one for the collection. It was good exercise for me to code it.
 
 
  
 
 
Some files from the live web site cannot be downloaded although they are visible!
 
Here the download link of the source code only: AutoIt Sysinternal Tools Synchronizer v0.99.6 build 2020-09-23 beta.7z  (1557 downloads previously)
-=> Requires AutoIt version 3.3.13.20 or higher / tested on Win8.1 real machine and some VMs: Win7 / Vista / Win10
 
Compiled exe only: @MediaFire
 
Just select the Sysinternal Tools folder or create one and press the synchronize button to download the selected items. Click on AutoIt label (near to left upper corner) to open menu.
 
Special thanks to LarsJ, Melba23 and mesale0077 for their help. 
 
I've still some ideas to implement which are more gimmick related, so it is not finished yet...
If you want to add your language please check out #Region Language. Thanks. 
 
Please report any bug or if you have any suggestions.
 
The language of the tool tip from each of the executable in the left list view were automatically created using Google translator and weren't checked for correctness.

Here another example to mark the desktop to get the marked region for capturing. This example is not perfect and not very fast (room for improvements).

Hello everyone,
Im developing an script to check the size of all .jpg stored in windows folder.
The problem is that it doesn´t work properly with rotated images. 
With _GDIPlus_ImageGetWidth() and _GDIPlus_ImageGetHeight()  I get the Width and Height of images as if they had not been rotated, and I need to know how they are rotated (orientation and grades).
Any help is welcome! If more info is needed, please tell. 😁
