Transparency, ASP.NET, and GDI+

Re: Transparency, ASP.NET, and GDI+

I have tried searching (I've spent almost 2 months trying to find an
answer), but none of the stuff I found seemed to help.

Re: Transparency, ASP.NET, and GDI+

allright, allright, but have you checked the link I posted as well?
(this one: http://www.bobpowell.net/giftransparency.htm)
should fix it!

Re: Transparency, ASP.NET, and GDI+

Bitmap Transparency is not supported in browsers. Only GIFs and PNGs are
transparent, and only GIFs are universally transparent in browsers. The
article I sent you to doesn't use BitMap.MakeTran sparent(). I am not sure
why you keep bringing this up. It is a simple matter of following
instructions. The functions you use in your app are not a goal, but should
only be used if they are a means TO your goal. Let's say you're baking a
cake. Why on earth would you need or want to use a meat grinder in the
process? A meat grinder is for grinding meat, not for baking a cake.

Re: Transparency, ASP.NET, and GDI+

Check out the sample code from the article I referred to you:

protected ColorPalette GetColorPalette ( uint nColors )
{
// Assume monochrome image.
PixelFormat bitscolordepth = PixelFormat.For mat1bppIndexed;
ColorPalette palette; // The Palette we are stealing
Bitmap bitmap; // The source of the stolen palette

// Determine number of colors.
if (nColors > 2)
bitscolordepth = PixelFormat.For mat4bppIndexed;
if (nColors > 16)
bitscolordepth = PixelFormat.For mat8bppIndexed;

// Make a new Bitmap object to get its Palette.
bitmap = new Bitmap( 1, 1, bitscolordepth );

palette = bitmap.Palette; // Grab the palette

bitmap.Dispose( ); // cleanup the source Bitmap

return palette; // Send the palette back
}

That doesn't look anything like what you wrote, regardless of the language.
The palette is retrieved from a Bitmap of a specific paletted format. Are
you having trouble translating from C# to VB? If so, I can do it for you.

You should ckeck out this article. It helped me a lot in over coming
problems with keeping transparency in GIF's.
