Read Date Photo Taken Programatically vb.net

I am trying to figure out how to read the metadata information from a group of Jpeg images.  I want the Date and Time the Photo was taken and the MD5 of the photo so that I can deduplicate the photos.  I have a listing of the text Files with a CR LF in Textbox1  Any help in reading the header data or information of where I can find sample code is appreciated.

Meant to say I have a listing of the JPEG Files with CR LF on each line.
This "ExifTool" looks like it will extract the jpeg metadata, and it can be used from command line.  You can call it inside a DOS "FOR /F" loop to process your "file-of-files".  This should give you a start.
