Image Resizer using C#.NET Windows Application


Code to Resize Image (with Sample Application)

In this post I am sharing the code to resize an image using C#.NET. Also sharing the code to preview and save resized image in multiple formats (jpeg, bmp, png, gif, tiff).


Code to Resize Image for given width and height


public static Bitmap ResizeImage(Image image, int width, int height)
        {
            var destRect = new Rectangle(0, 0, width, height);
            var destImage = new Bitmap(width, height);

            destImage.SetResolution(image.HorizontalResolution,
                  image.VerticalResolution);

            using (var graphics = Graphics.FromImage(destImage))
            {
                graphics.CompositingMode = CompositingMode.SourceCopy;
                graphics.CompositingQuality = CompositingQuality.HighQuality;
                graphics.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;
                graphics.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.HighQuality;
                graphics.PixelOffsetMode = PixelOffsetMode.HighQuality;

                using (var wrapMode = new ImageAttributes())
                {
                    wrapMode.SetWrapMode(WrapMode.TileFlipXY);
                    graphics.DrawImage(image, destRect, 0, 0, image.Width, 
                          image.Height, GraphicsUnit.Pixel, wrapMode);
                }
            }
            return destImage;
        }


Code to Save Image in given Image Format


 public static void SaveImage(Image img, string extension, string PathToSave)
        {
            extension = extension.ToUpper();

            switch (extension)
            {
                //*.jpg;*.jpeg;*.jpe;*.jfif
                case ".JPG":
                case ".JPEG":
                case ".JPE":
                case ".JFIF":
                    var encoder = ImageCodecInfo.GetImageEncoders().First(c => 
                     c.FormatID == ImageFormat.Jpeg.Guid);

                    var encParams = new EncoderParameters() { Param = new[] 
   { new EncoderParameter(System.Drawing.Imaging.Encoder.Quality, (long)100) } };
                    img.Save(PathToSave, encoder, encParams);
                    break;
                case ".TIFF":
                case ".TIF":
                    img.Save(PathToSave, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Tiff);
                    break;
                case ".BMP":
                    img.Save(PathToSave, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp);
                    break;
                case ".GIF":
                    img.Save(PathToSave, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Gif);
                    break;
                case ".PNG":
                    img.Save(PathToSave, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);
                    break;
            }

Show Image on canvas HTML5

Here is the sample code to select image from system and display it on html5 canvas and javascript: <input type= "file" id= "selectedImage" /> <canvas id= "myCanvas" width= "500" height= "500" > </canvas> Javascript code: $( "#selectedImage" ).change( function (e) { var URL = window .URL; var url = URL.createObjectURL(e.target.files[ 0 ]); img.src = url; img.onload = function () { var canvas = document .getElementById( "myCanvas" ); var ctx = canvas.getContext( "2d" ); var imgSize = calculateAspectRatioFit(img.width, img.height, canvas.clientWidth, canvas.clientHeight); ctx.clearRect( 0 , 0 , canvas.width, canvas.height); ctx.drawImage(img, 0 , 0 , imgSize.width, imgSize.height); } }); function calculateAspectRatioFit(srcWidth, srcHeight, maxWidth, maxHeight) { var ratio = Math .min(maxWi

Pass byte array from C# to C++ and vice-versa

Pass byte array from C# to C++                           If you want to pass a byte array to native DLL as parameter, you can use the Intptr to do this, please check the demo below. /C++ API code: TestDLL_API void TestArrayPara (BYTE * pArray, int nSize) { for ( int i= 0 ; i<nSize; i++) printf( "%d\n" , pArray[i]); } //C# code: class TestClass { [DllImport(@"TestDll.dll")] public static extern void TestArrayPara (IntPtr pArray, int nSize); public static void Test () { byte [] array = new byte [ 16 ]; for ( int i = 0 ; i < 16 ; i++) { array[i] = ( byte )(i + 97 ); } int size = Marshal.SizeOf(array[ 0 ]) * array.Length; IntPtr pnt = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(size); try { // Copy the array to unmanaged memory. Marshal.Copy(array, 0 , pnt, array

Display Tooltip for Combo Box item C#.NET Winforms

In windows form combo box control sometimes while adidng items dynamically we have items whose width is greater than width of combox box control. In this case for making UI more user friendly we can show tooltip over such item. Here is the sample C# code to display such tooltip:  Add a Tooltip control on the form.  Add following code : this . combo_box1 . DropDownStyle = System . Windows . Forms . ComboBoxStyle . DropDownList; this . combo_box1 . DrawMode = DrawMode . OwnerDrawFixed; this . combo_box1 . DrawItem += new DrawItemEventHandler(combo_box1_DrawItem); this . combo_box1 . DropDownClosed += new EventHandler(combo_box1_DropDownClosed); this . combo_box1 . MouseLeave += new EventHandler(combo_box1_Leave); void combo_box1_DrawItem( object sender, DrawItemEventArgs e) { if (e . Index < 0 ) { return ; } string text = combo_box1 . GetItemText(combo_box1 . Items[e . Index
