Need Help! "Paramter is invalid"

Hi, i am trying to use the code below to show a image from a file but on the line "Image image = Image.FromStream(mStream); " it gives me a parameter is invalid error and i do not know how to solve, any ideas

private Image getImage(byte[] inputImage)
{
byte[] header = new byte[] { 68, 68, 83, 32, 124, 0, 0, 0, 15, 16, 0, 0, 207, 0, 0, 0, 220, 0, 0, 0, 128, 3, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 32, 0, 0, 0, 65, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 32, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 255, 0, 0, 255, 0, 0, 255, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 255, 8, 16, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 };
MemoryStream mStream = new MemoryStream();
BinaryWriter bw = new BinaryWriter(mStream);
bw.BaseStream.Position = 0;
bw.Write(header);
bw.Write(inputImage);
Image image = Image.FromStream(mStream);
bw.Close();
return image;
}

    Hi,

    if you do not have the headers for the image then you can use the Bitmap.LockBits to populate the pixel data, however you will need to know the size and format of the image data you are trying to populate to initialize the bitmap object.

    Mark.

    Hi,

    see this thread: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=1126715&SiteID=1 I give an example of how to create an image using the LockBits method.

    Mark.



  • srinivas_kv80

    Ok. Is the image embedded in an rtf document or such like

  • IMBack

    I've replicated your problem by unlocking the bits of a bitmap and marshalling them into a byte[].

    The object browser in VS says "The stream does not have a valid image format-or-stream is null."

    Are you sure the header is correct


  • RPKJBP

    This should do it:

    private Bitmap GetImage(byte[] inputImage, Size size, PixelFormat pixelFormat)< xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

    {

        Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(size.Width, size.Height);

        Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(0, 0, bmp.Width, bmp.Height);

        BitmapData bmpData = bmp.LockBits(rect, ImageLockMode.ReadWrite, pixelFormat);

             

        IntPtr ptr = bmpData.Scan0;

     

        int bytes = bmp.Width * bmp.Height * 3;

     

        System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.Copy(inputImage, 0, ptr, bytes);

     

        bmp.UnlockBits(bmpData);

        return bmp;

    }

    hmm i know the size and image type, how do i use that Bitmap.LockBits code.

  • DLdfrd

    Yes i know there is a fromfile but im extracting the image from a file so i would have to create a file everytime i would want to view it, so i thought be easier to put it into memory.

  • Nick Colebourn

    No, its just a file that had loads of images but dosent have the header's for it.

  • Octopus384

    You do know there's an Image.FromFile method don't you
