VB.NET Windows Image Viewer Functions
RasterEdge VB .NET Windows Image Viewer can be easily installed into your computer for flexible image processing. Now we will provide you with a brief introduction of this VB.NET Windows Viewer functions . Please ensure that you have installed .NET Framework (2.0 and above supported) and Microsoft Visual Studio (2005 or later versions compatible).
Opening and creating an Image
With this VB.NET Windows image viewer library SDK, you can create a new image in formats such as png, jpeg, gif, tiff and bmp. You can also load & open an image from a local file, or from .NET Graphics. Alternatively, you are also enabled to download an image from a URL, or just create a new one from stream.
Processing and Editing an Image
