I am using visual studio 9.0. The .net framework version is 2.0. I need to use the System.Drawing.Image.FromFile() method. The compiler reports that this function does not exist. In documention, it is written that this function is in file "System.Drawing.dll". I have included that file but still the error has not gone. Whole code looks like below:
using
System;
using
System.Collections.Generic;
using
System.Text;
using
System.Drawing;
using
System.Resources;
namespace
Res
class
Program
static
void
Main(string[] args)
Image img = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(
"
aa.gif"
);
The compiler error I am getting is "
The System.Drawing.Image does not contain a definition for 'FromFile()'.
"
I need to use this function. Can anyone help me to ressolve my issue. Thanks in advance.
How did you include System.Drawing.dll - did you right click on your project and use add reference to add a reference to the System.Drawing assembly?
System.Drawing.Image.FromFile is declared as
public
static
Image FromFile(
string
filename
so, as far as I can tell, your code should compile ...
You are not creating an instance of the Image class in your code, that happens somewhere inside FromFile.

Bitmap img = (Bitmap)Image.FromFile(
"
aa.gif"
,
true
);
The
Image
class is an abstract class and cannot be instantiated.
I think it would also be wise to use the fully qualified path to retrieve the file instead of just the file name.
I thought this method does not compile in Framework 2.0, but I immediately found a confirmation it does exist:

This method even existed in Framework v.1.1:

So, please check things up.
Still U didn't get u can try like this
System.Drawing.Image image = new Bitmap(file.FullName);
imageList1.Images.Add(image);
