Hi.

I want to embedd an image file (.gif) to my solution, and print it in the resulting PDF file (the file I generate).

Is there a way to get Sharp PDF to print such a resource?

My idea is to use my program with no need to carry the .gif file along with it.

Thanks in advance

Hi!

Get an Image from your resource, create an XImage from your Image - that's all.

Damn it! It sounds really easy, yet I cannot figure it out.

Thanks for your anser, Thomas. Unfortunately, I have not been able to apply your solution. I am still working on it.

(But if you would be so genle to give mi a hint, I would appreciate it).


So far, I have this:

With this code, I show in a pictureBox the resource image file:
Code:
pictureBox1.Image = Properties.Resources.logo;
           



And with this code, I get an image file from its location to print it in the resulting PDF file:
Code:
pictureBox1.Image = Properties.Resources.logo;
            formGfx.DrawImage(XImage.R("logo.gif"), 10, 10);



So, I guess I must combine both snippets...

or am I wrong?

I answe to myself (and to anyone with the same problem):

I know it is not the best solution for everyone, but i worked for me:

I assigned the image resource file to a picture box, and then, accessed to the picture in the picturebox and sent it to be printed on the pdf file:


Code:
 pictureBox1.Image = Properties.Resources.logo;

           formGfx.DrawImage(XImage.FromGdiPlusImage(pictureBox1.Image),10,10);


And that's all.

Cheers

I guess the right way to do it is this:

Code:
formGfx.DrawImage(XImage.FromGdiPlusImage(Properties.Resources.logo), 10, 10);


("logo" is th ename of my gif file)
using no picturebox.
