Load Image Without Locking File

I want to load a multipage TIFF image into memory as an Image object but I read that the FromFile method locks the file.

Can I load this into a stream, close the physical file then manipulate the image there?
Thanks

Hi,

Open the image with image.fromstrea m.
Dim fs As New System.IO.FileS tream("C:\camer a.bmp", IO.FileMode.Ope n)

Dim img As Image = Image.FromStrea m(fs)

fs.Close()

PictureBox1.Ima ge = img

But this is in the MSDN documentation.

Remarks
You must keep the stream open for the lifetime of the Image object.

Hi all... My system contains an image which I have saved it at client side. Unfortunately, when users want to view the image, the image doesn't loaded. If i'm not mistaken, it is set at the HTML code of asp.net web form right? I've set the Image URL to be like this: ImageUrl="C:\ExportImage.gif". I don't want to create a new file for placing the image since other clients who don't have the file might not be able to access the image.
