Width and height of image from byte array C#

Question

_{Thursday, October 24, 2019 7:51 PM}

Hi,

I have server-client application where server is converting image as byte array and sending it over TCP network. Once client receives byte array, it suppose to convert as Image and show in UI.

How do I get width and height from the byte array to convert as a image in client side?

Best regards

Best way to get width and height is convert bytes first to image and read from that. For example following code creates Stream from bytes and then Bitmap from the stream and get size.

byte[] imageData = ReadImageData();
MemoryStream imageStream = new MemoryStream(imageData);
Bitmap image = new Bitmap(imageStream);
int width = image.Width;
int height = image.Height;

The answer to your question depends entirely on HOW you are converting the image to a byte array.  If you are just getting a stream of pixels, then there is no way to figure the size, much less the format.  You have to send the width and height as part of the data stream.

There are several ways to do that.

Hi,

Finally we have handled to share width and height from the wrapper (c++) which receives data from network.
