How to save/convert from bmp to png,jpg,xbm or gif to display in

[Guest]

I found an article on how to save an image to a bitmap file but I want my
output file to be viewable in Pocket IE and .bmp is not supported. Does
anyone know where to find the code or a library that will allow me to save
directly to , or convert to one of the file types compatible with Pocket IE?
Btw, I'm a vb programmer, not C.

PIE does support BMPs.

Regardless of that fact that PIE supports BMPs, does anyone know how to
convert BMP to PNG, JPG, XBM, GIF via the .NET Compact Framwork.

The sole reason for me posting this request is because PIE does not support
BMPs. Thats the reason why I need to find a way to convert a BMP to either
XBM,GIF,JPG or PNG(The file types supported by HTML. I assume PIE supports
all these as well.). Does anyone know how to do this.

Thanks...

Take a look here - http://www.pocketpcdn.com/articles/jpeglib.html
Compile it to DLL and after that use P/Invoke.

Please forgive me for that last post. I totally misread your message. I
thought you stated that PIE DOESN'T support bmp. I thought you misunderstood
my request. Sorry about that.

The best I can offer is to look in open source. Most image formats are
widely documented. Rotor may even have a fairly usable managed code version
already available.
