VB.NET Image Watermarking Functions

This VB.NET image watermarking control library is one of the composing libraries of RasterEdge .NET Image SDK. It is a relatively independent and light weight library SDK for VB.NET image manipulation, which is a perfect combination of easy Microsoft Visual Studio integration with full compatibility for .NET Framework.

Using this imaging DLL, you will be enabled to add watermark to image individually or in batch mode for multiple images in VB project. You can decide to add either a text watermark or an image one onto it, and whether to burn it to the pictures to make it permanent.

As for the watermark itself, there are plenty of options for you. VB developers will be entitled to easily adjust watermark text content, text font type, font size, font style, layout (diagonal / horizontal), watermark opacity / transparency, brush color, brush style, location, and updated image restoration directory, etc.

VB.NET Method to Add Watermark to Image

In the code tab below we will show you the Visual Basic .NET method for creating a watermark in your local images. As you can see, this VB.NET image control library is flexible enough to allow you to customize the font (font type, size, and style), brush (style, color, opacity), and the new image location.

Public Sub CreateWatermark(s As String, font As Font, brush As Brush, point As PointF)
End Sub

VB.NET Code to Add Watermark to Image

In this section, we will provid you with the complete Visual Basic .NET sample code to add a watermark to your demo image. Please feel free to copy them to your program for a test.

This VB demo will take you to load a sample image to the project first, set the text watermark properties (font type "Times New Roman", size "16", and style "Bold"), and then adjust brush color to black and opacity to 100 (indicating a totally solid watermark). Finally we will save the updated image with watermark to your disk C with the name "1-watermark.bmp".

Imports System.IO
Imports System.Drawing.Printing
Imports RasterEdge.Imaging
Imports RasterEdge.Imaging.Processing

Dim Image As New RasterEdgeImaging()

'Create an instance of Image and load an existing image
Using image As Image = Image.LoadImageFromFile("C:\1.bmp")
    End Using
If True Then
    Dim graphics As New Graphics(image)
    Dim font As New RasterEdgeImaging.Font("Times New Roman", 16, FontStyle.Bold)
    Dim brush As New RasterEdgeImaging.Brushes.SolidBrush()
    brush.Color = Color.Black
    brush.Opacity = 100
    image.CreateWatermark("watermark", font, brush, New PointF(image.Width / 2, image.Height / 2))
    image.Save("C:\1-watermark.bmp")
End If
