  1. POFeedback on code to Serialize, Deserialize and Save Image
    text
    copied!<p>Here is my code to Serialize, Deserialize and Save an image to the file system. I have looked at many examples of serialization/deserialization and I just want to get some feedback as I am sure my code could be improved. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I know this is a common problem so hopefully this question will be a good resource for others in the future.</p> <p><strong>This is the revised code using recommendations:</strong></p> <pre><code> private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { RunTest(); } private void RunTest() { byte[] jpgba = ConvertFileToByteArray("D:\\Images\\Image01.jpg"); using (Image jpgimg = ConvertByteArrayToImage(jpgba)) { SaveImageToFileSystem(jpgimg, "D:\\Images\\Image01_Copy.jpg"); } byte[] pngba = ConvertFileToByteArray("D:\\Images\\Image02.png"); using (Image pngimg = ConvertByteArrayToImage(pngba)) { SaveImageToFileSystem(pngimg, "D:\\Images\\Image02_Copy.png"); } byte[] gifba = ConvertFileToByteArray("D:\\Images\\Image03.gif"); using (Image gifimg = ConvertByteArrayToImage(gifba)) { SaveImageToFileSystem(gifimg, "D:\\Images\\Image03_Copy.gif"); } MessageBox.Show("Test Complete"); this.Close(); } private static byte[] ConvertFileToByteArray(String FilePath) { return File.ReadAllBytes(FilePath); } private static Image ConvertByteArrayToImage(byte[] ImageByteArray) { using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(ImageByteArray)) { return Image.FromStream(ms); } } private static void SaveImageToFileSystem(Image ImageObject, string FilePath) { // ImageObject.Save(FilePath, ImageObject.RawFormat); // This method only works with .png files. // This method works with .jpg, .png and .gif // Need to copy image before saving. using (Image img = new Bitmap(ImageObject.Width, ImageObject.Height)) { using (Graphics tg = Graphics.FromImage(img)) { tg.DrawImage(ImageObject, 0, 0); } img.Save(FilePath, img.RawFormat); } return; } </code></pre>
