Bitmap Outputing Characters
-
I have some code that creates an image by putting a bunch of images together. If I return the result as a JPEG or GIF it works fine. But when I return it as a BMP it returns a bunch or characters instead of a picture. Any ideas on why?

Can you clarify what you mean by 'return the result'. Are you using a
Bitmapobject?myBitmap.Save("bitmap.bmp", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp);

Yes I am using a Bitmap object. The wierd part is it works if it is a JPEG or GIF, not BMP... myBitmap.Save(Response.OutputStream, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp);

What object are you returning, to see a 'bunch of characters' ? Why do people ask questions like this and not post the code ? If you write code that returns a Bitmap, you'll get a bitmap. If you're not getting that, we need to see the code to say what's wrong with it.

OK, it's an ASP.NET question. You should ask those in the ASP.NEt forum, or at least make that clear. Why on earth would you send a BMP through a web page anyhow, when gif and jpg are smaller ? I would not be surprised in the browser does not support them, I think BMP is a windows format ( it's raw data with a header which I think is Windows specific ).

I have seen that a way to make dynamic images is to use an aspx page with a Response.OutputStream and then assign that page as the ImageUrl in a Image Component. It works for JPEG and GIF. My problem is transparency. JPEG and GIF output results in a black background. I guess I could ask, how do I get the background of my outputed JPEG or GIF image to be transparent? Or do you know another way to make my own image and output it on a custom control? And I did forget to mention it is a ASP.NET app, so keep that in mind.

There certainly is no transparency support in BMP. I believe PNG is the only format that has transparency built in.

.NET has a method MakeTransparent(Color), when you use that method it simply doesn't draw the pixels with the color passed to MakeTransparent. I have another idea. How can I pass a Color from one page to another?

Ok, I made a variable and it always used the default I set to it since I commented out a line for testing. I uncommented have it works. Those are the errors I love!
