JPEG Decoder\Encoder in C#

[Gilad Kapelushnik]

Hi, I've searched high and low and couldn't find any source code for encoding\decoding JPEG files for C# (although found plenty in C\C++) I know that this format is widely supported but I would like to have the source code for reading such a format. Any ideas ?

If you're just trying to display it on-screen or get the property items, the System.Drawing.Image class should be all you need

You already have some source, all you need to do is convert the code from C/C++ to C#. You'll have to do this by hand since there are no converters to rewrite C/C++ code to C#.

The deal is I need the code as I want to develop a variant of the original JPEG format. I want the source code because I don't want to start from scratch.

I thought about porting the code but since the source in C is around 15000 lines filled of complex memory and mathematical operations I have no doubt that doing porting without mistakes will be quite a challenge.

I didn't say it would be easy, just that it was what you had to do! :-D You really SHOULD do it this way because, as you said above, you want to develop your own variant of JPEG. Well, you're going to have to understand the code in order to update it with your implementation changes. There's no better way than rewriting it in your own language.
