Hi John,
The GDI+ does not support the animated gif encode, so I think
there is no way for the .Net Framework to convert the animated tiff file
to gif file.
The only way is convert on your self using the gif specification document.
I am sorry I did not fimiliar with the gif format, so I suggest you go to
the
GDI group to ask how to conver the using the gif specification.
Btw: I have one thought may be help:
You can use the programming interface of PaintShop pro 8.0, I think its
will
provide you the function of converting tiff to giff.(May be even creating
the animated gif
file through PSP8.0's SDK).
Then you can release your product packing the PSP SDK.
Also, may be getting the PSP programming SDK needs offerring some money for
the licence.
You can consult in the GDI group or PSP technical support for the details
Hope this help you
Best regards,

| Hello Jeffrey,
|
| Yes I have only found one program that will display an animated tiff
| correctly (paint shop pro 8's animation program). All the other progams
on
| my computer only display the first page of the animated tiff.
|
| I still do not have a way of making an animated gif from my program.
| Currently I use PSP8 to open the animated tiff and then save it as an
| animated gif. I can not expect the people using my program to do this.
|
| Regards,
| John
