Bitmap and MemoryStream

I am creating a bitmap using a memory stream. Is there any way to load
the bitmap data so the memory stream can be disposed? Perhaps copying
the bitmap in some simple, quick way?

Thanks

The stream must remain open for the life of the bitmap. However, you may
create a new bitmap with the same width, height and pixel format and then
use DrawImage to create a copy, then you may dispose of the stream. This
only works for non indexed bitmaps. For indexed bitmaps, you must use
LockBits to marshal the bits from the old bitmap to the new one.

Hi all! I have problems when writting bitmap to a byte array and after reading it back form byte to Bitmap object. What I do is this: First I throw Bitmap to a memory-stream and then I write it into byte from a stream. Exception (System.ArgumentException: Invalid parameter used) occurs when reading from byte over a memory-stream back to the Bitmap object. Please help, I'm really stuck here! Here's the code I use (Sorry for a long...

Hello, I am developing a video recording (mjpeg) system which records large binary files. I need to read the JPEG data from the binary file and create a bitmap object to be displayed. Unfortunately I cannot find an efficient way to do this in C#. I need to do this at 10fps+ with 1hour+ data files. My current approach is read a byte from the filestream, then create a MemoryStream to the created byte and then a bitmap from the memory

I'm using TCP/IP to send a Bitmap object over Sockets. This is my first time using C# at all so I don't know if this is the "right" way to do it. I've already found out several times the way I was doing something was really inefficient and could reduce 10 lines of code with 2, etc. For reading, I am using a TcpClient and I call NetworkStream ns = client.GetStream(); to get a stream stream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);

I've been looking on the Internet for a way to convert a DIB to a Bitmap without success. Now I'm wondering if that is the approach I should be taking. All I want to do is display the DIB or draw it into a Bitmap. Is there a graphics method that can help?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
