Marshal.Copy and copying a Bitmap

Hello,

Where could aI find a sample code which would show how to use
Marshal.Copy to copy a "graphics image" to pixel based image?

There is a MS (really) quick supportpage for that
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/814675/en-us
but it is too approximate for anything.

Cheers!

Jerry,

That document refers to using the Scan0 property on the BitmapData
instance returned to you from the call to LockBits.

Hope this helps.

Yes it does, but there are also lot's of code in Internet that uses those
Classes and objects in manyways. Methods of those classes have also
very complex parameters and many kind of conversions must be made.

It would be more painless to have proper example from Microsoft becuse
their GDI+ classes haven't any kind of support for this operation.

Cheers!

Here is an example to fill in, you can also copy out.

Public Shared Sub FillBitmap(ByVa l bmp As Bitmap, ByVal imgArray As Byte())
Dim h As Integer = bmp.Height

Dim bmpDat As Imaging.BitmapD ata
Dim stride As Integer

Try
bmpDat = bmp.LockBits(Ne w Rectangle(0, 0, bmp.Width,
bmp.Height), _
Imaging.ImageLo ckMode.WriteOnl y, bmp.PixelFormat )

stride = bmpDat.Stride

Marshal.Copy(im gArray, 0, bmpDat.Scan0, stride * h)

Catch ex As Exception
Finally
bmp.UnlockBits( bmpDat)
End Try

End Sub

Hi. I use System.Drawing.Bitmap to copy bitmap pixel data. I use LockBits to retrieve a BitmapData which in turn provides me with the Scan0 property which i then use to loop the pixel data using a byte *. I am aware of that internally GDI+ stores RGB as BGR, therefore i have to manually swap the R and B components of each pixel. Since GDI+ internally stores the components in BGR order, there is'nt a way to copy the entire pixel data...

I think I'm still a little rough on the principle and understanding of Marshal by value and Marshal by reference after reading various materials. my understanding of Marshal by value is that the object is copied and passed by value out of the application domain. So does that mean the ENTIRE server object is copied to the client side ? thus all calculations are done on the client side ? ie. if client/server

Hello All, I¡¯m using a context menu associated with some pictureboxes to provide copy/paste functionality. Copying the image to the clipboard was easy.

I am in the process of creating a System.Drawing.Bitmap from a block of memory containing a DIB Bitmap. I can think of about a half dozen ways to do this. For perfomance reasons I don't want to be copying the enitre bitmap around more than I have to. Right now I am considering a Pinvoke call to CreateDIBitmap then passing that handle to Bitmap.FromHbitmap. Does anyone know if Bitmap.FromHbitmap actually copies the bits

Hi all! I need to pass managed String from to C-style APIs. I see I can use Marshal::StringToXXX functions. Is this the best we have? I understand this will allocate a new string and create copy of my String. I want to pass it as constant (LPCWSTR). I don't need allocation and copying, just the pointer. Can I have it, pretty please? In normal C++, we usually have conversion operator or a function to get it from a string class...

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