Option strict ON problem ..
-
I can not figure out how load the file into my bitmap without getting an error with Option Strict set to ON (It works fine with Option Strict OFF ..:-))
Public BitmapImage As Bitmap BitmapImage = Bitmap.FromFile(filename) ' where file name is soemthing like ' "C:\Project\Prolasspecial.bmp"What's the "correct" way of coding this, so that Option Strict On will not complain :rolleyes: ?? Georg -

GeorgOption Strict OFF is the same as 'I am not a programmer'. The problem is simple. Bitmap.FromFile returns an image, not a bitmap. Yes, this is stupid.

I understand that .fromFile returns an Image = question remains what's the correct function to use to load my Bitmap file into my bitmap ?? How do I Convert it? I goggled it - but it seems everybody else has figured this one out or the offered solutions seem rather "complicated" to me Im I using the wrong Load function ? Is there a direct conversion from Image to Bitmap? Whats the "proper" way of doing this? Do I need to load it into an Image first and then use a conversion ??? Georg

Bitmapclass has a constructor that takes a path to a file and a constructor which takes an image. The best option would be something like this:Public BitmapImage As Bitmap
BitmapImage = New Bitmap(filename)
' or
BitmapImage = New Bitmap(Bitmap.FromFile(filename))
I think the first option is simpler.

You're welcome. Best place to look first is always the documentation. :)
