That what I was doing originally, but I kept getting expetion "A generic error occurred in GDI+". I'm overwriting the the original image....so maybe I'm doing something wrong and not dispoing of the picture. At any rate, if I save to a different ABS path, then it save the image, but the transform did not appear to have taken effect. I even tried drawing a line, but nothing changes with the picture - it's the same as the orignal.
So, i'm doing something like:
newImage.Save(path);
Should I be doing something different? Is there something I'm not calling on the Graphic object to make it apply to the Bitmap?

Yes, that means .NET already has a lock on the file, you'd need to save to another filename

try this
Bitmap newImage2 = new Bitmap(newImage);
Save();
or
newImage.Save();
Assume Graphics as pencil and Bitmap as paper...Now how you gonna do conversion...

You can't convert a Graphics object to a Bitmap, as it doesn't contain the image. The Graphics object is just used to draw on a canvas, in this case the canvas is a Bitmap object.
You are creating a Graphics object to draw on the original image, but what you want to do is to create it to draw on the new image, then you draw the original image onto the new image.
The transform controls how the drawing is done using the Graphics object, so when you draw the original image using that Graphics object it will be rotated.
Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.

Oh god, stupid me.....
Thanks for the responses everyone. I was going in circles (and sometimes th wrong way) because I thought the graphics was not writing to the original image. In fact it was. The test line i drew wasn't appearing because the coords I gave it were not long enough and my image is so huge that when I went to look at it I never see the line and the picture never rotated. Until I finally seen a red speck.... ;-0

Hi,
there are some quirks you have to be aware of:
1. all errors in GDI+ will report "an internal error..."
2. Image.FromFile() locks the file until the image is disposed
BTW: Image.FromStream() does not
Bitmap bm1 = Bitmap.FromFile(filename);
Bitmap bm2 = new Bitmap(width2, height2);
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bm2);
g.Transform = matrix...;
g.DrawImage(bm1);
bm1.Dispose();
bm2.Save(filename, imageFormat);
g.Dispose();

Oh I swear, thank you SOOOO much. I couldn't figure out which object I wasn't dispoing of properly. I knew there was something wrong because if I could create a new bitmap as a new file name it would work, as it wasn't trying to write to the same STILL open file!!
Now on to figuring out to get it to rotate properly given the angle...ehhh.
Thanks for the help everyone!!

I'm writing an app to add information to a custom database(which does not exist yet). After that, I will develop an app to work with/view the data.
As a newbie, I'm unaware of exactly what I should be studying to create a database in C#. I've figure out how to create data tables(and datasets) but I'm not sure what to even search for when I'm trying to find code samples or tutorials on how to permanently store the info and every search I do yields stuff with MySQL. Can someone please point me in the right direction?

You need to learn about SQL. That's basically it. That's what DBs are written in

Dear developers,
I like the type of chm-file for documentation.
I fiddled a while with the ms-help and I understand some principles.
My question is:
How can I automate the creation of "pretty-looking" chm-files?
Best regards

Hi, I built an application using a TCP/IP connection. Therefore I need an I.P. checker to make sure the given IP is correct. I noticed that when an invalid IP is provided the complier can tell it right away. SO my quesion is if there is a command to check if an IP address is valid. By valid I mean it is less than 255.255.255.255. Or if you happen to have a code that does it i would be greatful.
Thank you in advance

Hi,
I haven't tried it myself but I would go for IPAddress.TryParse()

You could either ping it (requires internet access), use a regular expression, invoke the IPAddress.TryParse method or split it, and use Byte.TryParse on each of the components

Thanks, used IPAddress.TryParse() worked fine for me.

Hi all! 
I was just wondering how I could elevate privelages programmatically using C# as I am trying to download a file from my site and automatically save it to My Documents on my computer but I keep getting an exception and it says access to MyDocuments denied. Does anybody know how to get around this? It happens on both my XP and Vista computers. I don't want to turn off UAC or the equivelant in XP either? I'd appreciate any advice I can get. Thanks in advance.
Jay.
P.S. Incase anybody wants to know how to download files using WebClient, here's the code:
WebClient DownloadClient = new WebClient();
DownloadClient.DownloadFile(StartingPointTextBox.Text, SaveSessionTextBox.Text);
j.t.

Hi,
you don't need special privileges to write files into your own MyDocuments folder, this works just fine (tested on Vista):
string ff=Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments)+@"\folder\";
Directory.CreateDirectory(ff);
File.WriteAllText(ff+"aha.txt", "contents");
Did you get an error in the path, resulting in a non-existing folder/subfolder?

Thanks for your reply/code ,
Here's the code that I have. I haven't forgotten any folders (I double checked after reading your message) and I'm completely baffled. I even try saving the file to the Desktop and about 15 other folders lol but it shows the same access denied error on both systems. Weird. I've never had this happen before.
Below, the StartingPointTextBox is where the file's downloaded from, and the SaveSessionTextBox is where it'll be saved to:
DownloadClient.DownloadFile(StartingPointTextBox.Text, SaveSessionTextBox.Text);
In my application, I have a FolderBrowserDialog appear that lets me choose where to save the downloaded file to.

Hi Jay,
the code you are showing doesn't tell me anything, since the file path is to be read from a Control.
AFAIK a FolderBrowserDialog returns the path to an existing folder, which is *not* the path of a file inside that folder. You can't overwrite a folder with a file. Try appending some relative file path (such as "aha.txt") and then save.
FWIW: when something fails, make it log its intermediate values; as in Console.WriteLine("filespec="+f);
That often is the fast way to spot what may be wrong.

Luc Pattyn,
Thank you so much for your help and code I really appreciate it.
Unfortunatly, I'm a little brain dead tonight as I just figured out that I was telling it to save to a folder, but I wasn't giving it a filename to save as lol.
Regards,
Jay.

Does a C# hashtable key have to be a string or could it be an int?
Cheers, Bruce 
|
|

Hi Bruce,
a Hashtable, and since 2.0 also a generic Dictionary, does not impose limitations on the type of keys and values it takes. The key can be a string, an int, a MenuItem, whatever. It must have a decent hashing function, as documented for Dictionary< TKey, TValue>:
As long as an object is used as a key in the Dictionary< (Of < (TKey, TValue> )> ), it must not change in any way that affects its hash value. Every key in a Dictionary< (Of < (TKey, TValue> )> ) must be unique according to the dictionary's equality comparer. A key cannot be nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), but a value can be, if the value type TValue is a reference type.
