.NET Forum / Languages / VB 6.0 >>> VB.NET / October 2005LoadPicture, SavePicture, StdPicture support in VB .NET ??
Hi, I'm trying to move some VB6 data and algorithms dealing with pictures and images to VB.NET. Is there a .NET equivalent of these VB6 commands (LoadPicture, SavePicture)? I think StdPicture is defined in stdole ... so does that mean that VB.NET can deal with such objects via Interop? I am writing a VB.NET app that has to use a COM object that returns a StdPicture. I am trying to see what's available in .NET VB6 compatibility but I can't seem to add this library as a reference to my VB.NET project. Thankful for any help ... Blaise Oh, forgot to ask ... is there a way to convert a StdPicture to a .NET Image ?? thx > Oh, forgot to ask ... is there a way to convert a StdPicture to a .NET > Image This might not be the simplest way, but if all else fails, go via GDI+. The flat GDI+ API has methods that will turn handle/hpal into GDI+ images - you need to select the method according to the StdPicture type. I don't know how to go from GDI+ to .NET but I think it is simple since the .NET graphics are AFAIK based on GDI+.

Then look at the Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility.VB6.Support class. It has a few methods that might help you out (i.e. "IPictureToImage" and "IPictureDispToImage"). If you're just looking to load an image from disk, check out .NET's System.Drawing.Image.FromFile() method.
