Re: Supporting more Image Formats?

After much hunting around for information, I finally gave up and asked
about this a while back. Basically, there's no support for custom image
formats in the current version of the framework (or is it the current
version of GDI+? I forget :). Whichever one it was, MS are considering
it for a later release.
Sorry...

Subject: Supporting more Image Formats?


Hi all,

I want to extend the .NET Image classes to work with some different
image
formats (JBIG, JPEG2000).

The documentation says the "Encoder and Decoder classes enable users to
extend GDI+ to support any image format."

First of all there isn't a Decoder class that I could fine.

Second the Encoder class documentation doesn't really tell you what you
need to do to add support for new image formats.

I would really like to implement these image formats in a way that works
the same as the built in formats do so using these formats would appear
seamless.

Any ideas on what I need to do this would be appreciated.
