Reading OLE images into image objects

12 New Member
Hi,

I am trying to read an Access database field that contains an OLE image. I simply want to read in the image, and then be able to use the various filters available in WIA 2. What I can't figure out how to do, however, is to simply read out the image data and create an image object that WIA can recognize.

The only solution I've seen online is to stream the OLE object to a file and then open up the file using WIA. This seems like a lot of overhead just to read in image data stored in the database.

Is there some more elegant solution?

Thanks.

Why does SVG need a different tag than other images?
