Re: Bitmap .net GDI+

Yes,

I should have mentioned that the picturebox is only one place I want to
display an image. I need to display the same image in quite a few
places. I may need to manipulate an image in a picturebox and then
display it in another control which may need to manipulate it again.

Andrew,

Without knowing much detail about what you need, I'd probably derive
from
the picture box control and add all the necessary operations to the
derived
control. This way the extended picture box would have the bitmap as a
private object and it could manage its lifetime. (Actually the base
PictureBox would do it.)

This would also ensure that whenever a caller calls the Image property,
it
receives it according to the original Image control. (I think callers
are
not supposed to call Dispose on the bitmap returned by PictureBox.Image,
since the owner of the image is the control.)

HTH,
Gyorgy Bozoki
