Dear all,
I would like to convert a system.drawing.image or bitmap to a FreeImage
bitmap. I am using the code below. NOTE: the problem I am having doesn't
seem to be with the FreeImage Library itself bit rather with the Windows API
calls. Am I doing something wrong on that end? This is the code that I am
using below, but the result is a black image and not the image that I put
in. Any ideas? Thank you very much for your time!

LOL, saying that I think FreeImage to .NET is the easy bit. I've had an
idea though that *might* simplify things. How about possibly just saving
the .NET Image to memory stream and then loading the image into free image
from the byte array in memory? This way you won't have to do any of the
other stuff. I'm just taking a look at how this can be achieved now though
may not have a solution until tomorrow sometimes as my head hurts!

Dear all,
I would like to convert a system.drawing.image or bitmap to a FreeImage
bitmap. I am using the code below. NOTE: the problem I am having
doesn't seem to be with the FreeImage Library itself bit rather with
the Windows API calls. Am I doing something wrong on that end? This is
the code that I am using below, but the result is a black image and not
the image that I put in. Any ideas? Thank you very much for your time!
Sincerely,
Christopher Koeber

^ A working example with a reusable wrapper might make this easier!

I've tested displaying the image and it works perfectly. I got
stuck temporarily as I hadn't reset the position of the memory stream
back to 0, but once this line was added it all worked fine.

news:uS**************@TK2MSFTNGP14.phx.gbl... LOL, saying that I think FreeImage to .NET is the easy bit. I've had an
idea though that *might* simplify things. How about possibly just
saving the .NET Image to memory stream and then loading the image into
free image from the byte array in memory? This way you won't have to do
any of the other stuff. I'm just taking a look at how this can be
achieved now though may not have a solution until tomorrow sometimes as
my head hurts!

Hi Chris,
http://www.members.lycos.co.uk/nickpatemanpwp/
Click "My Own Software"
Click "FreeImage In VB.NET" (You will need to scroll down to the VB.NET
Section
You will then be able to download an example of converting FreeImage
to a .NET Bitmap, I'm sure it can be easily adapted to work in the
reverse. But saying that, working with Bitmaps *can* be a bit tricky if
your having to supply all of the data and header information yourself.
