Instantiating Image objects OK?

Because of an example I followed I've been instantiating Image objects. Now
I notice that the documentation says the Image class is an abstract base
class.

Things seem to be working! Is the documentation wrong (it also says abstract
classes cannot be instantiated)?

Should I be using Bitmap instead?

Is there a difference between Abstract class and Abstract base class?



Thanks,

Cal

Does not work for me:

dim img as new image

Post the code you use to /instantiate/ the image class. Maybe you are
only declaring a variable of type 'Image' and not instantiating this
class directly.
 
Thanks to both. I checked to see if Herfried was looking over my shoulder -
he was exactly right - I was just declaring a variable!
