Question

hi am lina and am a new learner or user of visual c# and i've been told that it can read image files easier than visual c++ because the library files for loading images are embeded within the prgram , so i need a little help or hints about the code for that

Answer 1

Hi,

Yes that's correct.

For example you can use

Image i=Image.FromFile(@"C:\sample.jpg");

and you can save Images just calling Save method. like i.Save

Here you can get more information from these links.

Image class is in System.Drawing namespace. If your project does not have the reference you should add the reference.

If you have the reference you should declare using System.Drawing at the top of your cs file or declare image as System.Drawing.Image in code.

There is no one code to use Image class in c# there are million of requirements, million of things you can do.

You can start with reading some documents, articles, papers to get the main idea. And when you have questions you can ask here too. But it's hard to write that million things in a single thread.

You can start reading the documentation on msdn that I sent at previous post

Also I did bing search and found there on internet hope they help.
