What is it your trying to accomplish. Rather than asking a "specific" question, describe the complete solution your looking for. More often than not, I find on these forums, somebody looking for an answer like "update a textbox in a custom event handler"
or "decode an image" really could be doing something an entirely different (and more elegant way) in the first place, causing them a lot less headaches down the road.
For a Tiff image file whose image contains some ID number, I want to be able to read the number from my C#/ASP .NET program. The image also contains other information (Name, Email, etc).
First, our application generates a fax cover page for customer, with a fax ID on it.
Then, our customer fax the cover page and other documents to us. Our application receives these documents as Tiff image files, and need to get the fax ID number on the cover page to process the document.
Question: How can we read the Fax ID on the fax cover page?
That's something entirely different, in that case your talking about OCR (optical charatcher recognition).
There are several companies that offer good solutions for this, but your going to have to buy a third party component. Just do a search for OCR .net SDK and you should turn up a bunch of options.

Define "decode".

Ok, here is what we exactly do and need:
First, our application generates a fax cover page for customer, with a fax ID on it.
Then, our customer fax the cover page and other documents to us. Our application receives these documents as Tiff image files, and need to get the fax ID number on the cover page to process the document.
Question: How can we read the Fax ID on the fax cover page?
