png to bmp in C#

Question

is there anyway that I can convert a png to a bmp in C#?

I want to download a image then convert it to a bmp then set it as the desktop background.

I have the downloading bit and the background bit done.

I just need to convert the png to a bmp.

Answer 1

Image Dummy = Image.FromFile("image.png");
Dummy.Save("image.bmp", ImageFormat.Bmp);

Answer 2

Certainly. You'd want to load up a Bitmap object with your png:

Bitmap myBitmap = new Bitmap("mypng.png");

Then save it:

myBitmap.Save("mybmp.bmp", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp);

Answer 3

Have you tried this?

Image imgFile = Image.FromFile(aFileName);
imgFile .Save(strOutFileName, ImageFormat.Bmp);
