Generating a PNG8 image with System.Drawing

Hi everyone,

I'm working in a MCMS 2002 site and for a template I need to create
images on the fly.
The image format of choice is PNG because this images had to have a
transparent background and .NET doesn't go very well with transparent
GIFs (black background generated instead).
So everything when more or less fine until I've tested my beautifully
anti aliased PNG images in IE 6 there they are showing a horrendous
washed blueish background.
Searching around I found that IE6 doesn't understand PNG32 or PNG24
images with transparent background, but it will show happily a PNG8
image with a transparent background.
Now I can't find the way to generate a PNG8 image with the .Net
framework :-(
Whenever I choose "ImageFormat.Pn g" in the Save method of Bitmap it
will save it as a PNG24 I guess.
It's a way to change the PNG mode in which .Net generates the
image????

Thanks in advance for you help you can provide on this matter.

Best regards

Vladimir

Hi Gurus, I have a rather unique requirements in my ASP.NET application - I need to create image buttons on the fly while rendering a page. The scenario is like this - the user can enter some text (max 10 chars) in a page and when he saves the information, the next page should display an imagebutton that has the text which the user entered (in the previous page). Please help me with your valuable insights.

I want to use the System.Drawing.Image class. According to the help file, this is an abstract base class. Because it is supposedly abstract, I created another class that inherits from it. However, when I did this I got the following error: 'System.Drawing.Image.Image()' is inaccessible due to its protection level Looking at other online examples, I found that the proper way to use it is like this:

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
