I want to know how many Bitmaps I can create.
Will memory leak when create too many Bitmaps?
I am trying to create a multipage tiff from a series of bitmaps. The bitmaps are not saved I am creating them using graphics. The code goes something like this:
Dim info As ImageCodecInfo = Nothing
Dim ice As ImageCodecInfo
For Each ice In ImageCodecInfo.GetImageEncoders()
[code]....
The problem is I can see the first page, but no others. I have searched the forums, internet, etc., have worked on this for hours and am getting nowhere.
I'm currently working on a project where I need to bind 3 different bitmaps.Bitmap1, Bitmap2, Bitmap3.
I tried :
bitmaps = Bitmap1 & Bitmap2 & Bitmap3
But of course, that didn't work.If it's possible, I also need Bitmap1 and Bitmap3 to have a fixed size and Bitmap2 to change its width if the form is resized.
I'm experimenting with the various graphics, bitmap and image functions of vb.net 2010, with the aim of being able to create an image processing tutorial program for my Physics AS group. Currently, I'm trying to zoom in to an image so that individual pixels are clearly visible. The below code shows what I'm doing.
My problem is that the zoomed in image always comes out blurred; the individual square pixels are not visible. I presume this is because as the DrawImage method resizes the image, it re-samples the image in some way. Is there a way of resizing the image while retaining the pixels as in the original image, so that individual pixels are visible? I've tried several other methods, including drawing to a picturebox control and then resizing the picturebox with the size mode set to zoom or stretch... this results in the same blurred image.

I have a function that returns a bitmap meant to be used as background in a panel, and occasionally I'd have to call it to create a new background based on parameters

View 7 RepliesI'm trying to find the colors of pixels using GetPixel(x,y) with bitmaps.
I understand how to use it and it works.
When I use .ToString I get the string version of the color.
Now when I use .ToArgb I get a negative number and the colors are backwards?
16777215 should be white and 0 should be black.
This is an example of some results:
-16273900 is showing close to black and -32567 is showing close to white.
I've searched these forums, and found some GDI and C# links, but I really want to do some image processing in VB.NET.
how I would go about combining 2 bitmaps into one, sort of superimposed on top of eachother? I don't know what libraries are available in .NET.
I want to know if there's a faster way to draw images onto a picturebox based on a list of point.
vb
Dim MyPoints as New List(Of Point)
Dim MyBitmap as New Bitmap("C:MyBitmap.PNG")

Now, This code may be a little sloppy, but I just put it together. The image isn't very simple, but it's simple enough. After about 10 images that need to be drawn, it starts to get slow.What would I need to do to ensure it draws the images faster? If I made the image itself smaller would it make it go faster?
Basically, I have a program which screenshots the form when the person clicks their mouse button. Afetr the click it will store the screenie in a bitmap.But the problem how would I store loads of picutres in different bitmaps if they for instance clicked 100 times without having to declare the bitmaps 100 times and seeing if each has a image and then checking thge next 1.
View 1 RepliesI am writing a VB 2008 Express Edition application which has multiple forms. All of the forms contain one or more PictureBox controls. All PictureBox controls have assigned bitmaps via Image property during development mode. So far, all the bitmaps displayed during runtime without a slightest problem. Now, suddenly, not a single new one (i.e. which I add from this moment on) would display bitmap during runtime. All the old ones (i.e. those which I have added up to that unspecified point in time when something went wrong) still display bitmaps fine as they did before. But any newly added PictureBox (or, come to that, any other control which can display bitmap.
I have tried also Label control) displays the bitmap loaded via Image property only during development mode. During runtime the PictureBox shows as empty. I tried to load the bitmap during runtime via command Image.FromFile and that works fine (but I don't want to use this approach in my program). If I create a completely new application, all PictureBox controls display the bitmaps just fine. I don't get any errors or warnings in VB editor. I reinstalled the whole VB 2008 Express Edition including SP1 and .NET 3.5 SP1 with no difference whatsoever (as would be expected as any new application works with PictureBox controls fine).
I need to draw a bitmap background with one or more moving bitmaps in the foreground; something like a chessboard where pieces move across it. I use a timer-tick event to redraw the background and then draw the relocated foreground image like the code below. But I get flicker, even though I set the form to use double-buffering. The culprit seems to be redrawing the background to refresh where the foreground images used to be; no flicker if I replace the background DrawImage with a simple Graphics.Clear. I think what I want to do is draw the background, and the foreground bitmap(s), in memory and then render it all. I used to do this with double-buffering, BitBlt, and .Refresh in VB6 but I haven't found the equivalent in VB2010. This must be a pretty common graphics requirement; what's the trick to it?
Dim Gfx As Graphics
Me.SetStyle(ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint Or ControlStyles.UserPaint Or ControlStyles.OptimizedDoubleBuffer, True)
Dim rectBrd As Rectangle 'use as clipping region for drawing

It seems difficult to find good information on working with bitmaps. Specifically I am looking for .NET info on getting tile graphics to the screen. What I know so far is this. I need a picturebox for the display. I need a second picture box for a back buffer and then I need a third picturebox for the tiles that I would copy to the back buffer which then gets flipped to the screen.I need this to be done with .net controls and classes or functions and etc. If anyone has good information on this, please let me know. I am using visual basic 2008 express edition.
View 2 RepliesI used to program with Visual Basic 6, so I have alot of old programs that I'm updating, plus I'm learning the new VB2008 methods. I'm writing a program that replaces the old "BitBlit" function which is no longer supported by Visual Basic 2008. It involves three picture boxes, one holds the sprite bitmap, a second holds the mask (silhouette) of the sprite bitmap, and a third has a background image.

I've designed my own encryption application in VB 2008 that has a free tools section where users can choose a particular wizard to use from the drop down. The javascript wizards display the code required to put in their own sites. I already created wizards that users can well, use.I see people have their own "contact form wizards" on their websites all the time. Where users can use the wizard and get the displayed code to copy and paste on their sites. But trying to locate source codes to these things is very aggravating on the web.So what I want to do is create my own "form wizard" like out of javascript, that allows the user to put in some information then get the displayed code to put in their own websites. I'm not looking for the generator such as the online form generators.But the javascript source code(s) for the generator itself.Then I could simply put a form generator inside of my VB-app, that will allow the user to use the wizard, then get the html code to paste in their own sites. Preferably not the PHP one because the php backend is very difficult to put in a VB app.I know that it can be done. For example copying a web pages source code then putting it inside a string, then calling that string from a button click that will open the javascript page in the webbrowser inside the VB app.

View 2 RepliesI have used VB (versions 2 - 6) through many years; however, I am crash-course training myself into the VB2008 / VB2010 world kicking a screaming. I would like suggestions as to what SQL database access method should I focus more on in my learning process without making me feel that I'm a million years behind. I know I have WinForms where I can create a datasourse and drag / drop fields or tables on a form to create a grid (not really what I'm looking for).
My trouble isn't so much designing the form but in how I access the database. Theres XML, LINQ to SQL, ADO.NET, and many other methods. Not only do I need to grasp these methods quickly but I also need to know what type of projects I should create. What I mean is...I was thinking that I would design a WinForm app; however, I see that there are WPF apps and others to chose from. This is getting deep. I know it depends on the project that I'm working on. My plans are to write an app based off of either an SQL Express 2008 or SQL Server 2008 database. This first app will be standalone for now but may later become multi-user. I know I'm far behind on my learning curve coming from VB6. I have read a bit on VB2005 / 2008 / 2010. I own
both VB2008 and VB2010. I use VB2008 at work. I know ADO.NET is still alive but by what I read online, it's a dying method and is only kept for backward compatibility. XML and LINQ to SQL and other methods are all pretty new to me.
I am not a new coder, but i am not a know-it-all. I have been watching some of those NVidia fluid videos, and got jealous. I thought "Why can't i do it?" I'm not good enough for OpenGL or some other 3d engine, but i thought i would try it in 2d.

Furthermore I know I could use the Windows script object, but this is a dependency Im trying to avoid if I can, hence writing my own Shortcut class.
