I dont know if I missed something in documentation,
but I was having a problem with "Bitmap.LockBit s" and
was wondering if anyone else has discovered it too.
According to everyones examples including some of
the MVP's website examples, one could use unmanaged
code to manipulate a bitmap by casting the IntPtr from
the Bitmap.LockBits to say an (int*).
The problem I found is that the bitmap would rarely
move around in memory throwing a fault if you were
in the middle of manipulating a bmp.
My application was a cute little scrolling program
doing a 600x800 bmp at about 30fps. It usualy took about
5 to 10minutes before it tanked. (surely directx and
manipulating textures would have been faster, but thats
not the point.)
I found that if I specified the bitmaps data via another
one of the bitmap constructors, then pinning the memory
in the GC then and only then would the program be 100%
stable.
The only thing I know the Bitmap.LockBits does is lock
out a portion of the bitmap to prevent cross threading issues.
Has anyone else had this problem? Any other solutions while
still using pointers to manipulate data?

Yes, the bitmap may move around, but that is not a problem as you are
working with a pinned copy of a part of the bitmap data. Or, at least
you should be. If you are trying to manipulate the bitmap data directly,
you would get that problem.

No, that's not what it does. It copies the data into a memory buffer and
pins the buffer in memory so that the garbage collector won't move it.
The data that you are working with is protected from other threads, but
that is just because the data is local to your thread.

That's what I thought it was suppose to do, but on a single thread program,
it still managed to move. I used LockBits at the beginning sub on the entire
area of the bmp, then used unlock at the end. I fail to see the flaw in that.

I create a bitmap like this.
The width and height are got from the compressed file i am reading. The
width and height are in pixels.....1bpp
bitmap = new Bitmap(Width,Height,PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb);
i have a bitmapdata class and then lock the bits like this.
bitmapData =
bitmap.LockBits(bounds, ImageLockMode.ReadWrite,
PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb);

Dear ladies and gentlemen:
How to access all the pixels of a bitmap with C#? I am working with
Delphi before. In Delphi, you can use TBitmap.Scanline property to access
all the pixels of a bitmap object. How to do this with C#? Any hints? Thank
you very much.
Best regards.

Hello there,
I'm trying to display a grabbed picture from a matrox meteor II to a
picturebox (I know I can use the matrox display, but I need to show it
on a PictureBox). I've tried to fill the bitmap with the setpixel
method, but it's too much slow (my camera's resolution is about 700x500
pixels).
Does anybody know how to fill the bitmap from a 3-dimensional array
(width x height x R/G/B), or even 3 2-dimensional arrays?

Hello!
My goal is to develop a program that opens a bitmap, copies its pixels
to an ArrayList in order to perform some complex calculations (edge
detection, Hough transform etc.), and save resulting image back in some
other bitmap.
It works pretty fast, except for stages of coping pixels between bitmap
(object of type Bitmap) and the ArrayList. I'm using the trivial

Hi All,
I have some Windows BMP, 1BPP, monochrome files that I need to get the

However, when I print what I think is the raw data, I get the image

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.
