Saving image to file

Question

I am working on a basic drawing application. I want the user to be able to save the contents of the image.

I thought I should use

System.Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsState img = drawRegion.CreateGraphics().Save(); 

but this does not help me for saving to file.

Answer 1

You could try to save the image using this approach

SaveFileDialog dialog=new SaveFileDialog(); if (dialog.ShowDialog()==DialogResult.OK) {    int width = Convert.ToInt32(drawImage.Width);     int height = Convert.ToInt32(drawImage.Height);     Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(width, height);            drawImage.DrawToBitmap(bmp, new Rectangle(0, 0, width, height));    bmp.Save(dialog.FileName, ImageFormat.Jpeg); } 

Answer 2

You can try with this code

Image.Save("myfile.png", ImageFormat.Png)
