Convert IMAGE object to STRING for manipulation?

[Trammel]

Hi, I have a vb.net program made to grab screenshots and then store them in
image objects.
The image is displayed in a pictureBox atm but I want to store the data in a
String only.

(Without saving to a file on HDD, then loading it as binary)

Does anyone know how to convert an image into a string & have any pointers
to information on how the image would look when in the string (Like bit
patterns, etc)?

Re: Convert IMAGE object to STRING for manipulation?

Hi:

I use the ToBase64String function to convert the image stored in the
database to string;

System.Convert. ToBase64String( CType(dr(i), Byte()))

Hope this help
