48BPP PNG Image Exception

Krish · Feb 23, 2009

Hi,

The issue is reproducible only on a WM 6 emulators, NETCF 2.0.

I am trying to load a 48bpp PNG image to a Picture box, it throws the
below exception

at Microsoft.AGL.Common.MISC.HandleAr()
at System.Drawing.Bitmap._InitFromMemoryStream()
at System.Drawing.Bitmap..ctor()

Can someone shed some light on the issue

Thanks,
Krish

Hey Krish,

..Net Compact Framework don't supports 48bbp images. The best supported
pixelformat is "Format32bbpRgb". If you want to use the image, you need to
convert it.
