how to retrive the raw data of the image pointed by an intptr.The thing is the detector gives the pointer to the acquired image and I need to retrieve the image rawdata from the given intptr.
View 1 RepliesI have a function that I need to pass data to but the only type of data the function is allowed to accept as a parameter is IntPtr (yep you guessed it, Windows APIs). Would I be able to actually pass anything useful to it? In the case I'm looking at right now it would be a List(Of T) that I need to pass to the function? At the moment I'm resorting to just using a class level object that both the calling method and the function that accepts IntPtr can access, but I would like to negate the need for this if possible.

View 3 Repliesi need to save an array of intptrs as a part of a structure in a file, vb.net gives me "File I/O of a structure with field 'pList' of type 'IntPtr' is not valid." error, ok i figured and tried to convert them to integers and while it worked for other singular intptrs it did not for the array as it just throws me a conversion error. I then tried rebuilding the array in the new sub of the save structure and while that sorta worked(i think) it then gives a "bad size" error when saving. Im out of ideas, saving the array elements one by one would be suicide as the amount varies and is well in hundreds,

get the raw data of zoomed image in a picture box. But I am zooming the image using,e.Graphics.DrawImage(Picturebox.Image, New Rectangle(ZoomXCordinate, ZoomYCordinate, ZoomWidth, ZoomHeight)).Now I am not getting how to get the raw data of zoomed graphics image displayed on the Picturebox.I am actually trying to get the image data into a byte array.

For including images in my database, what i would like to do during the import process is capture some of the meta data to store against fields in my database as well.
In this case we will be using iPhone 4s which i believe capture data in EXIF format.

Any code for creating the pallet for a Gray scale image, to display it on a picture box? I have written the code for creating for palette for a RGB image which is as follows:
Marshal.Copy(Image_bufffer, 0, _pImg, 1024 * 1024)
myBMP = New Bitmap(1024, 1024, 1024, System.Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format8bppIndexed, _pImg)
pal = myBMP.Palette
For i As Integer = 0 To pal.Entries.Length - 1
pal.Entries(i) = Color.FromArgb(255, i, i, i)
Next
myBMP.Palette = pal
Picturebox1.Image = myBMP 'Show the image
But the image displayed looks dull(less brightness) than the same image viewed from ImageJ. So instead of creating pallet from color.Argb, is there any way to create palette for a gray scale image?

The idea with System.IntPtr is to represent an integer whose width in bits correspond to the size of a pointer in the hardware and operating system that the CLR is running in, it's platform specific in other words. It supports 32-bit and 64-bit architectures only.This is a legacy from old-style C API's where pointers and ints were frequently treated as interchangeable. The Win32 API has many such parameters, where the width varies with the underlying architecture thus the mess with porting of code from 32-bit to 64-bit (we already did this once when going from 16-bit to 32-bit, funny how we never learn...).In practice, as is mentioned in other responses, it can be used to hold unmanaged resource handles and pointers etc that stem from the underlying Win32 functions. It can also be used to hold integers of the natural size for current platform. You can also use IntPtr.Size to dtermine the size of a pointer on the current platform.SO when you explain this to a child ;) this would be used to let program's flow at the same speed at diffrent kinds of operating systems?

In VB6 you could BITBLT things around before refreshing the screen. In .NET, I'm aware of DrawImage, but that can only be done on a paint event rather than before anything gets painted. The issue I have is, I need to open several files with image data in them and then build a bigger image with those smaller images. Before I could open them, BITBLT them to a Buffer. As far as I can tell .NET offers no way to do this as the only function I've been able to find (DrawImage) only works within the paint event. Is there still a way to do this in VS08 or no?
View 6 RepliesI play a game and in the game you acquire skills which you can display on the screen in a box very similar to a data grid. The grid has 3 columns and X number of rows.Column 1 is the name of the skill, column 2 has a descriptive term like "Beginner" and column has the number of points you have acquired in that skill. So it would look something like this:[code]Remember that it is in a data grid so it has cells like an Excel spreed sheet.The program that I use is able to parse the skill name and the points and save that information outside the game to a n area in the program.My question is, is this possible to do something similar in VB? That is something like, Press a hot key, with will get a screen shot, parse the data and save to a data grid in my VB program.
View 2 RepliesI made a picture box and imported an image named Title.jpg. Later I made adjustments to the picture and imported it again without deleting the original(mistake). The new one had the name automatically changed to Title1.jpg. So I deleted the original image from resources and renamed Title1.jpg back to Title.jpg.
Now I got two problems. First, only Title.jpg is on the solution explorer, but Title1.jpg(along with Title.jpg) still pops up on the resource list when I click on Image property of the picture box. There's only the name and no picture, and I don't see a delete option. How do I get rid of it? Second, even though I changed the image to the new Title.jpg in the picture box, the old one is displayed when running the app. What's up with that?
We're in a strange situation with a legacy winforms VB.NET 1.1 application using ASMX web services. Trying to send a user Token from a WindowsIdentity object as a parameter to a WebMethod. I will be adding a 'HACK: comment. System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Token
The token is of type IntPtr, the first problem is the WSDL being generated doesn't support IntPtr with the error of 'unsupported type'I'm aware this is a big WTF question and sounds insecure, so any simple helpful alternatives are welcome but there are a lot of constraints on how we can change this system, including complications with the hosting environment. So I would just like to get our piece of data over to the web service to save a lot of other headaches.

I am trying to make an Image wrapper class or something. The reason for this is that I need to output a bunch of images only, without pictureboxes.

The coding below is to retrieve the Raw Image Data from the Database and then write as a JPG image file. The problem is the image file (image.jpg) is "nothing" after file created. I guess there is something wrong in the following coding.

No any runtime errors I can find, and I double check rawData (i.e. Buffer) contains data. But don't know why there is "nothing" inside the image (image.jpg).

I have a specific image that I want my application to look for on a specific window. I've done something similar to this along time ago with VB6, but it was slow, and it was checking for specific points in the picture rather than the whole image itself (for speed reasons). I named this image "Image1.jpg" and I want to compare it to the window with the handle "001C08F2" and class "SunAwtCanvas"

The System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.Impersonate function takes a System.intptr parameter, which seems awfully useless in my situation (with my limited understanding). I am developing an intranet application that uses integrated security to authorize users page-by-page against a role associated with their Windows Identity. I have no passwords or anything of the sort. Simply a Windows username. For testing purposes, how could I possibly impersonate a Windows user based on their username? The "impersonate" method jumped out at me as obvious, but it takes an unexpected parameter.
