Poor bitmap quality

I try to include a bitmap in a picture box. When the bimap is loaded by the
application, it seems the picture displayed has a lower quality than the
orignal. My orignal picture is in 65000 colors and the displayed picture is
in 256 colors. Does someone have a solution for this problem?
 
Hello,
Have u tried on the device or only in emulator?
I had the same problem, on emulator looked strange but on the device it was
ok.
 
In fact, my question is: Is the .net compact framework able to display bitmap
without changing picture resolution? Is it possible to display a picture in
65000 colors? How could I do it?
 
As far as I remember bitmap can only be 1, 4, 8 or 24 bits per pixel. If
your bitmap is 8 bit, it would be displayed in full - 256 colors.

If it's 24 bits (16M colors) it would be reduced in quality to 65K (or
whatever number your display supports).


Best regards,

Ilya
