Hi,

There seems to be a memory leak problem in loading an image in .NET

I am trying to load up an image, which is 1MB in size on the disk. When I load up the image it expands out to atleast 25MB in memory. THIS cannot be right!!

The line of code I am using is:

"formImage = new Bitmap("Form.jpg");"

Does anyone know a fix around this?? Please help.

Click to expand...

Is the bitmap file stored in the color depth of the screen?
 
if you load a compressed image, it
will be decompressed into memory.
otherwise you wouldn't be able to
draw or display it.

so i guess your 1MB-jpeg contains
a 25MB bitmap.
