I'm trying to write a program that sorts images in specific folder by ther dimensions and moves little images to another folder via simple .NET console application. I decided to use System.Drawing.Image class to get the image dimentions from an image file. But I face following error:
The type or namespace name 'Image' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly referrence?)
What exactly did I do wrong and why it doesn't see this class? Here are the complete code of my program:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.IO;
using System.Drawing;
namespace ImageSort
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string targetPath = @"d:\SmallImages";
string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(@"d:\Images");
foreach (string path in files)
{
if (File.Exists(path))
{
Image newImage = Image.FromFile(path);
var Width = (int)(newImage.Width);
var Height = (int)(newImage.Height);
if (Width * Height < 660000) {
System.IO.File.Move(path, targetPath);
}
}
}
}
}
}
The following C# program shows how to insert an Image in SQL Server. The following sql script help you to create a table with Image Datatype column. The above script will create a table named as imgtable and define two columns , first column is id ,an integer datatype and second column is image, an image(img) datatype.
The System.Drawing Namespace The System. Drawing namespace defines basic GDI+ functionality. This namespace contains the Graphics class, which provides methods for filling and drawing graphics objects.
Save(String, ImageCodecInfo, EncoderParameters) Saves this Image to the specified file, with the specified encoder and image-encoder parameters.
The Graphics class provides methods for drawing to the display device. Classes such as Rectangle and Point encapsulate GDI+ primitives. The Pen class is used to draw lines and curves, while classes derived from the abstract class Brush are used to fill the interiors of shapes.
The answer to this issue for .NET Core 3.1 is to simply install System.Drawing.Common from NuGet.
You need to add a reference : System.Drawing.dll.
In Solution Explorer
, right-click on the References
node and choose Add Reference
and find System.Drawing.dll
