System.Drawing.Image.FromStream Method

Creates an System.Drawing.Image from the specified data stream, optionally using embedded color management information in that stream.

Syntax

public static Image FromStream (System.IO.Stream stream, bool useEmbeddedColorManagement)

Parameters

stream
A System.IO.Stream that contains the data for this System.Drawing.Image.
useEmbeddedColorManagement
true to use color management information embedded in the data stream; otherwise, false.

Returns

The System.Drawing.Image this method creates.

Remarks

You must keep the stream open for the lifetime of the System.Drawing.Image.

The useEmbeddedColorManagement parameter specifies whether the new System.Drawing.Image applies color correction according to color management information that is embedded in the data stream. Embedded information can include International Color Consortium (ICC) profiles, gamma values, and chromaticity information.

The stream is reset to zero if this method is called successively with the same stream.

Note:

The System.Drawing.Image class does not support alpha transparency in bitmaps. To enable alpha transparency, use PNG images with 32 bits per pixel.
