Convert Bitmap To Icon Using Binary Data?
Feb 21, 2011
I would like to convert an Bitmap image to an icon in VB.NET but I have to use the binary data of each to somehow accomplish that. Doing research on Bitmap I found how the files are structured. I know that bitmaps have the Bitmap Filer header, Bitmap infoheader, and the colorallet. Each of these contain a certain amount of bytes, and I a have to get these from the bitmap file. The icon header and info header are similar to the bitmap. I know that there are libraries in VB.NET that do that easily, butthis is for a project for school and I am not supposed to use that. I just want to ask how

I'm trying to make a solid colored icon in Visual Basic.Right now I make a Bitmap, convert it to a Graphic in order to add color, convert it back to Bitmap, and then try to convert it to an icon.Unfortunately I cannot find any way to convert the final Bitmap to an icon. Can anyone help me with this? Alternatively does anyone have a different way to generate a solid colored icon? [code]

After scouring the forums for a code to extract icon from exe and convert to bitmap, i got that working, and the image will display on my form just fine. I want to save the image so it can be loaded again after the program is closed, but I get "Generic error in GDI+ occurred" when I attempt to save the bitmap.
Dim ExeIcon As Icon
Dim button1icon As Bitmap
ExeIcon = System.Drawing.Icon.ExtractAssociatedIcon(Filename)
button1icon = ExeIcon.ToBitmap()
Button1.BackgroundImage = button1icon
button1icon.Save("C:utton1icon.png", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png)

I have the following code found on internet:
Const WM_CAP_START = &H400S
Const WM_CAP_EDIT_COPY = WM_CAP_START + 30
'The first step is to recognize that the video captured by the web cam can be saved as individual images. By displaying a series of continuous images on the client, it is similar to watching a video stream. To capture an image, I have defined the following subroutine:
'---save the video data into the Image global variable---
Public Sub CaptureImage()
Dim data As IDataObject
Dim bmap As Image
Dim ms As New IO.MemoryStream()
'---copy the image to the clipboard---
[Code] .....
The problem is the code fail to retrieve the image from clipboard? What I'm trying to do is connect to a webcam, then save the video stream file on this webcam as bitmap file before transfer to the client side as an array of bytes.

I need to save Bitmap object loaded from image file (.png, .jpeg, .bmp) and save it as an icon (.ico) to a separate file.
First I tried saving Bitmap object to a file with Icon ImageFormat:
using System.Drawing;
Bitmap bmp = (Bitmap)pictureBox1.Image;
bmp.Save(@"C:icon.ico", Imaging.ImageFormat.Icon);
This one fails, as the icon produced is not in a proper format and it cannot be used as an icon.
Next one was to get HIcon from Bitmap and save it to a file:
using System.Drawing;
using System.IO;
StreamWriter iconWriter = new StreamWriter(@"C:icon.ico");
[Code]....
This one does not do the job too. Although icon file is properly written, it has only 16 colors and a limited width and height.
I'd like to be able to write icons with custom width and height that would preserve colors from the original image. Is this possible to achive in .NET?

I am searching for some code to help me take the bitmap contents of picturebox1 and convert it into an icon (*.ico) to save. I cannot for the life of me find anything to accomplish this. There are all sorts of codes that do things like convert bitmap files to icon files but nothing to change the contents of a picturebox as an icon.

I have a system icon (for example a folder icon) and I want to display it in a richtextbox. That's not a problem, but the transparency of the icon is gone and is replaced by a blue color. I tried to use the MakeTranparent function of the bitmap object, but with no luck. How can I make the bitmap transparent again?
Here is my code:
Dim _mycurrentFolder As String = "C:Test"
Dim _folderIcon As Icon = GetSystemIcon(_mycurrentFolder)
Dim _folderBitmap As Bitmap = _folderIcon.ToBitmap()

I have been googling this and have not come along a working solution for an entire day. I don't know anything about binary data types (as I've never knowingly used them) and I'm trying to write a binary value that I see in the registry, to the registry. Now, all I see is the following [shown below]... and if I try to pass that as a string to the RegSetValueEx in the WinAPI and of course it errors out...
I do not know what 'numbers' I need to pass into the lpData As Any, argument of RegSetValueEx (i tried a bit array) in order for it to come out as the following [shown below] in the regedit. I really have no idea, and my tests to place random numbers in the bit array just produce corresponding random "figures" as visible in regedit that I do not understand how to 'tie' them together logically. here is the culprit!

I need to convert a Drawing.Bitmap to 4 bit grayscale. Is there any way to accomplish this? I've tried using Bitmap.Clone but I only get the usual infamous "Out of memory" exception. Would this be grayscale even if it managed to convert to 4 bit?

My goal is to find the fastest way to convert a bitmap in a one-dimensional string array, where black pixels have to be converted in "X" characters and every other pixel in blank characters.My present attempt is to use a code like:

But the Cpu usage is excessive, and the elaboration time too (I have to convert one Image by second).Can someone suggest a much more fast method, maybe using some Api??

I've used .NET for a long time now but I have come across something I haven't had to do before and I'm struggling to work it out. What I need to do is work with binary numbers and convert them to decimals and vice versa but not necessarily using even numbers e.g. I would like to represent a number between 0 and 2047 which can be represented with 11 binary digits. Plus I want to represent a second number between 0 and 500000 which can be represented with 19 binary digits, and a third number, fourth etc. Then I want to string the whole binary results together and split it in to sections of lets say 5 bits each and convert those back to decimal.
