Create a sprite programatically in .NET?

Hi;

I've struck out trying to get an answer to this in the .net forums. Is there a way to create a Bitmap object in .net where the bitmap is all 100% transparent (alpha) I can then draw lines, text, etc. on the bitmap and where I do not draw, it remains transparent.

thanks - dave

    Just to clarify, "all from .Net" and "all in GDI" is not the same thing. Managed DirectX is a 100% managed API so you could use DirectX and still stay "all in .Net".

    Look at the Simple2D sample inside the DirectX SDK.  You should get an idea of what to do from that example.

  • Frederic Bellier

    Hmmm, I reread your question. Are you trying to do this purely within GDI code or is using DirectX acceptable to you

  • DesX

    Great - thank you!

    There is a sprite2d sample in c# also.

    Hi;

    Sorry, one caveat. We presently are 100% managed code which is a big plus in terms of security. Is there a way to do this within .net

    thanks - dave

    If you are using GDI+ and windows forms, here is a good FAQ site for you. Bob has done a lot of work with GDI+ and the site should at least lead you in the right direction.

    Hi;

    Yes, purely within .net code. We don't have to have this functionality (we just draw a white background now) and it is very good from a security point that all of our code only calls the .net API.

    thanks - dave
