Picture-strange

nc3b

I mean that other colors appear instead of the ones that were supost to.. and the contours are smudged... the really strange thing is, that if i keep the debug folder opened the picture displays correctlky (it's a picture on a form that loads on startup

I think you specified the value of the picturebox image at design time. Instead of that, load and set your image at run time. this will retain the quality. - Malhar

OK:) Now, supose i don't want anybody to be able to mofify my picture, what should i do? :) Hope i'm not bugging you too much :D :)

Rename .jpg to .dll ..!!!! Just kidding!! You can embed the image as a project resource by making image part of the project and extract the image just as you were accessing file. System.Reflection.Assembly asm = GetType().Assembly; StreamReader stream = new StreamReader(asm.GetManifestResourceStream("FULLY_QUALIFIED_NAMESPACE.FileName.jpg"));

Huh .. strange .. is it a very large or a high-DPI picture? I can certainly give it a try if you dont mind uploading the image.

It's not a large picture... it's quite simple... here-s a link http://www.firefly.go.ro/sn.png[^]

Oh .. ok. I tried to reproduce the behavior but couldn't so i was researching to see if it was PNG related issue.. Anyways, glad you found the culprit. - malhar
