Will 2005 allow saving bitmaps containing >256 colors using the .save method?

Yes. Even .NET 1.0/1.1 support that.

I get an error saying that colors >256 are not supported when I use

myBitMap.Save("c:\mybitmap")

Dim b As New Bitmap(100, 100, PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb)
b.Save("C:\foo.bmp", ImageFormat.Bmp)
