Saving Image as ImageFormat.Bmp doesn't work

[Peder Y]

My code is something like this:

---------------

Image img = Image.FromFile("somefile.bmp");

FileStream fStream = new FileStream("someBinaryFile.dat");
BinaryWriter bw = new BinaryWriter(fStream);

img.Save(bw.BaseStream, ImageFormat.Bmp);

bw.Close();
fStream.Close();

---------------

When I display the bw.BaseStream.Position before and after the save
operation, it appears to go backwards! Saving Gif's and jpg's works.
Anyone got an idea? Thanks!

Hi,

I've never any problem with BMP's saving.
Did you try to remove "BinaryWriter" and save it
only by:

FileStream fStream=FileStream("filename", FileMode.Create,
FileAccess.Write);
try {
img.Save(fStream, ImageFormat.Bmp);
}
finally {
fStream.Close();
}

Did you get any exception in your case?

Regards

Marcin

No, I haven't tried this approach, but am sure there must be something
else going wrong. Why else would jpg and gif go ok? My challenge is,
however, to take a bunch of different image files, and construct my
own native fileformat where all those original files are embedded
inside my new file. i have solved this by using a binarystream, saving
the number of pictures, and then for each picture, save type ("bmp",
"gif" etc), size in bytes, and the image.
