opening a image file

[nitheshsalian]

can anyone give me the code snippet to open a image file using c/c++ in windows platform???

i want to store a image file in an array and later do some manipulations on it...
i want to use the same array to display the image later...

depends on the image file format. One of the easiest to do this with is .bmp i think. Take a look at a bmp file in you text-editor and you'll get a good idear of how to do what you say
