vj#: I am trying to make a wallpaper changer for my computer using vjsharp. I have
done it , but it accepts only bmp files. I need to figure out a way to
convert jpg files to bmp so that I can make the program convert it and use it
as a wallpaper. Is there a standard library function to do so?
A code snippet will also do great.
Thanks,

Hi Sushovan,

You can convert/copy a jpg file to a bmp file with these two lines:

System.Drawing.Image bitmap = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile("yourjpg.jpg");
bitmap.save( "newBitmap.bmp",
System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.get_Bmp() );


Best Regards,

Dear Lars-Inge Tønnessen,

Thank you so much for the code snippet, it works perfectly. I will now
add the functionality of choosing a random file and schedule it on windows,
and my wallpaper changer is ready!
