System.Drawing question

Hello,

I want to draw from one System.Drawing. Bitmap to another. All I can find is
how to draw to a Graphics object.
System.Drawing, System.Drawing. Drawing2D or System.Drawing. Imaging have no
functionality for this.

"The Graphics class provides methods for drawing to the display device."
But I want to draw to an 'off-screen' image.

How does one do this?

Thank you.

Check out Graphics.FromIm age. You can create a Graphics object from a
bitmap, draw on it, then save it as a bitmap or display it in a picturebox,
etc.

Thank you both, just what I need.

I was looking wrong, assuming the image or bitmap class would provide the
functionality to copy from one image to another.

Hello group, My goal is to attach an image over another image. Top image should be transparent so the back image is visible through the top one. Bellow is a test code in VB.NET. You need to create a form, a button (Button1) and an Picture Box (picBox). "watermark.jpg" is any jpg image, "beispiel.tif" is a multipage TIFF image with the white background, which will turn to transparent. The most important thing here is that the TIFF image...

I am using the unmanaged function CreateIconFromResourceEx to generate an hIcon pointer. I take...

Hi, I have this question. When I use the FileUpload WebControl to post an Image (= SourceFile) that I want to resize and write to the server, I keep getting this situation. If that SourceFile is located in My Documents (as in "C:\Documents and Settings\29\Mijn documenten\SubFolderFolder\ImgName.jpg"), I keep getting a 'FileNotFoundException'. That doesn't happen when I get the SourceFile from "C:\Folder\imgName".

Hi, I am wondering why the .NET Framework is quite different from Win32 API when it comes to displaying system modal message boxes. Consider the four following types of system modal message boxes (please see associated source code below): 1) Win32 API with context ("btnWin32WithContext_Click") 2) .NET Framework with context ("btnFrameworkWithContext_Click") 3) Win32 API withOUT context ("btnWin32WithOUTContext_Click")
