I am trying to get a small bitmap from a larger image. something like
Dim bmp As New Bitmap(PictureBox2.Image)
However this just gets the entire picture not just a portion of it, I would like to do something like this where I can specify the starting and stoping points
Dim bmp As New Bitmap(PictureBox2.Image, StartX, StartY, EndX, EndY)
I would also like to take these smaller images and paste them into a single larger image. Is there any way to paste it in starting a a certain point. Such as
paste bmp into Picture1 (StartX, StartY)

Here is a short program to demonstrate my question. I just want to extraxct a rectangle bitmap from a big bitmap.Code as follows:
Private
Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender
As System.Object,[code]....
Execution stops when hitting the Dim cloneBitmap statement, which should have created a bitmap out of the rectangle cut out.The message is:
"MissingMemeberException was unhandled.
No default member was found for type 'bitmap"
I just don't get it. Seems that the method Clone(Rectangle, PixelFormat was not found.

I was wondering if it is possible to get a bitmap from a gfx... I am painting straight to a panel in the paint method I DO NOT want to have to paint to a bitmap then return that bitmap then paint this bitmap on the panel - as this is a lot slower I am doing this as i need to obtain a bitmap sometimes (if the user has requested it) 1/2 way through a draw eg the user says i want the picture after it has drawn the 3rd curve (just explaining why I want to do it this way)

Am looking at making a small application that will list printers on two file servers at two separate sites, from this app they can add the printer/s to there local computer.
I have found a small application on the web but there are a few improvements it could do with.
They are; Show all local printers without having to click on a check box. Show sites printers without having to click on a check box. Show comments about the printer�s location other then just the site.
If it is possible I would like to update this one, but if there are any other examples where I could download something similar, or even some help with how to begin to create a new application.
Here are some screen shots, of the application form and the xml which holds the folder structure for the sites.

I have made an application with a client, server and listener. The server is a console app and the other two are Windows Forms Applications.
Basically i am using a Network Stream to send messages from the client which go through the network to the server which bounces them to the listener which then reads the message and tells the app what to do. (For example if i sent "shutdown", the listener would read it and then execute "shell(shutdown -s)".
The messages are sent like the following SendMessage("shutdown") but when i use a screen capturing API and send from the listener to the client like so SendMessage(background) i get the following error:

I want to know how I could create a bitmap from scratch with no images to start with.(I would say need. but than you would think this was for some sort of school project and it's not.)Basically, what I have is an image which is perfectly square in shape and has a black border with a black x going through it, what is not black is white. What I'm looking to know is how to take that small image (50x50 pixels) and make an image based upon those by placing them in X Rows of X amount. I'll make a couple example to show what I mean.(X's represent the 50x50 image.

View 4 RepliesI am attempting to create a class library that can either search a bitmap to determine whether or not it contains an exact match to a second bitmap or if it contains a partial match. Currently it only returns true if i search the image for itself or if the sensitivity is below around 15%, even when i search with an image that i know should return true. The images I am using are simply a screenshot saved in paint and a section of that first screenshot also saved in paint. Here is my current .dll coding for VB 2008 Express

It is easy for me do in database table, This is run time and i need to work in RAM. how i can build the array and pull the data accordingly.

View 7 RepliesI have a small 10px by 10px image, and I want to use VB.NET to find out if that image is (an exact) part of a larger image.I thought a method of doing this would be to lock the bits of the larger image into memory and then loop through each pixel in the image and for each pixel, I could take the 10px by 10px section which is down and to the right of that pixel.. and then compare it to my smaller image.
This is the code I have so far:
'Lockbits of larger image to memory
Dim bmp As New Bitmap(Image.FromFile(System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory() & "picture.bmp"))
Dim pxF As PixelFormat = PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb
[code]....
when I'm looping through the 10 by 10 section and I find the R G B bytes for each pixel, how do I store this in my rawImage array so I can convert it to a back bitmap and compare it with my original small 10by10 image?
