image scaling

[=?ISO-8859-15?Q?Michael_H=FCbner?=]

Hi guys,

I need to scale an image before inserting it into a database. But I
really have no idea - everything on the net that I have found so far is
dealing with files that are physically stored in a folder. Does anyone
of you have any sample code or links for me?

Thanks in advance,

Michi

RE: image scaling

You are in the right direction :)
You can use the samples you found. Everything you need is consider working
with your images from memory stream, not from the file stream like in folders.

Smth like this
byte[] b = (byte[])cmd.ExecuteSca lar();

// Open a stream for the image and write the bytes into it
MemoryStream stream = new System.IO.Memor yStream(b, true);
stream.Write(b, 0, b.Length);

// Create a bitmap from the stream
Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(stream);

RE: image scaling

You have to play with streams, about how to scale (easy algorithm) and
playing with the image in memory:
