Three improvement ideas:-Add check to ensure the enum is a [Flags] enum.-Make the method generic and static with the enum type generic. I don't know how common it would be to have the type already on hand. It makes it simpler to use.-Iterate over all of the values and bit-wise or them...

I'd recommend a minor tweak to your code to remove the 'magic' string of the mimeType from the code, using the following:static void Main(string[] args){ Bitmap bitMap = new Bitmap(@"test.bmp"); var codecInfo = GetEncoderInfo(ImageFormat.Gif); var paramsEncoder = new...
