Managing Tags Using the AWS SDK for .NET

The following example shows how to use the AWS SDK for .NET to set the tags for a new object and retrieve or replace the tags for an existing object. For more information about object tagging, see Object Tagging.

For instructions on how to create and test a working sample, see Running the Amazon S3 .NET Code Examples.
