<p>I am looking for simple straightforward solution for accessing EXIF information of jpeg images in .Net.  Does anybody has experience with this?</p>

I like
Atalasoft's DotImage Photo
, but its a closed source solution and costs about 600 per dev license.
You can also check out
DTools at Codeplex
, which is an open source framework designed to supplement the standard Fx.  It includes some Exif related classes.
