How do I create a new System.Drawing. Imaging.ColorPa lette? ColorPalette does
not have a constructor, and the Entries property is ReadOnly. How are we
supposed to specify a palette other than the default? If there were a method
to import an Array or Collection of System.Drawing. Color or something, it
would be no problem, but the way it is set up right now I pretty much feel
like it is useless. Any ideas? Thanks.

As the docs say, you are specifically restricted from creating a new color
palette. That is, it's by design that you can't (they say it's to make
sure you don't change the length of the palette). But, you can modify the
palette that's returned to you. The array property Entries is itself
read-only, but it's the actual array of palette entries, and the array
itself isn't read-only. So you can modify the entries of the palette
simply by setting them to a new color.
Once you've made all the changes to the palette you want, assign it back
to the Image. The palette used by the image will be updated accordingly.

What do you need to do with a palette that you can't do with
System.Drawing. Imaging.ImageAt tributes?

I can't speak for the OP. But the two are completely different things.
Modifying the palette is a change to the image itself. The
ImageAttributes class provides a way to filter the image during
_rendering_.
The latter would be inappropriate if you wanted to change the image in a
way that could then be saved to a file, or if you did not have direct
control over the rendering (i.e. had no way to change the code drawing the
image so that you could pass an instance of ImageAttributes when
drawing). Also, there is no way to use ImageAttributes to change colors
for specific indices. You can map colors, but if for some reason there
are two palette entries that start with the same color but which should be
changed to two different colors, ImageAttributes won't do that.
It's true that for certain tasks, they can be accomplished with either.
But the two are not in any way _equivalent_.

Knee-jerk on my part. I was considering my reply in context to the
original post, and just assumed that James was posting from the ...drawing
newsgroup. I was using the same logic I used in my reply to the OP, even
though it didn't necessarily apply.
Oh well...that's a risk when people over-cross-post, whether they started
the thread or follow-up to it.
In any case, as for the general reason for deleting the VB.NET
newsgroup...my rule with respect to cross-posts is that when there are two
clearly contradictory newsgroups listed, one has to be deleted.
There is certainly some gray with respect to cross-posting in these .NET
newsgroup, where a newsgroup that's ostensibly language-specific (such as
the C# or VB.NET newsgroup) is used for questions not actually pertaining
to the language per se (such as asking about things in the Imaging or
Forms namespaces). I don't bother trying to argue against that sort of
cross-posting or misdirected posting (in the case where only the language
newsgroup is even used).
But, there is a _very_ clear contradiction between the C# and VB.NET
newsgroups. The only justification for posting non-language questions to
a language newsgroup is the marginal justification that the question is
being asked in the context of using that specific language. It is obvious
(to me) that only one language at a time can apply to questions like this,
and so any other language newsgroups need to be deleted.
I suppose I really ought to just ignore threads like that. I don't feel
comfortable propagating the bad cross-posting myself, and once the
cross-post has been done, you never know where the people other than the
OP are coming from (which is one of the problems with cross-posts,
especially overly broad ones).
Anyway, hope that clears things up, as much as might be possible.
Pete
That makes sense, and thanks for clarifying. I think the VB.Net crowd needs
your wisdom too.

BTW, microsoft.publi c.dotnet.framew ork.drawing
is a pretty dead board...but at least it's targeted for drawing so you

Honestly, I think you should have removed BOTH language groups. As it
stands, it looks like you had a choice between VB and C# and said "screw
VB." No language was directly indicated in the original post (although words
like ReadOnly were a clue) so ultimately, if I were going to "teach the
poster a lesson," I'd remove everything but .drawing.

VB."
That's not what I "said" at all. I simply personally feel that posting
the C# newsgroup and VB.NET newsgroup at the same time is an obvious
contradiction. You're ascribing to me motives I don't have.
As I said before, ideally only questions specific to the _language_ itself
(i.e. how to use some specific feature of the language) are actually
on-topic here. But, by community consensus, questions that are actually
about .NET generally are tolerated as well.
So while I don't disagree that technically the C# newsgroup is off-topic,
I don't feel strongly enough about it to try to instruct others to follow
that constraint, nor even enough to constrain myself in that way (indeed,
many of the answers I post here have nothing to do with C#).
Thus, out of three newsgroups, two are mutually exclusive, and so in
replying one of those two _had_ to be excluded, at least according to my
normal posting habits. Sometimes a habit causes one to do something
that's not entirely correct, but that's not really the point here I think.
No language was directly indicated in the original post (although words
like ReadOnly were a clue) so ultimately, if I were going to "teach the
poster a lesson," I'd remove everything but .drawing.
Well, if I were "going to teach the poster a lesson", perhaps I'd have
done that too. But teaching the OP a lesson wasn't my intent at all. My
removing the VB.NET newsgroup was simply part of my own desire to not be a
part of propagating a faulty posting pattern. Nothing more, nothing less.
YMMV.
