Dear All,
I am working on an imaging application in Visual Basic.Net and I want
the application to check and see if the image is valid that I am loading so
that my application will not crash when loading the image. For example, if
someone creates a file that is not an JPEG yet it has that extension, how
can I program the application so that it will detect this? Thank you very
much in advance for your time and attention in this matter.
Sincerely,
Christopher Koeber
 
Dim b As Bitmap
Try
b = Bitmap("c:\image.jpg")
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show("Error")
End Try

Thanks, a lot, works like a charm!
