Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to obtain a new bitmap using the FromFile method. It also demonstrates a TextureBrush.

This example is designed to be used with Windows Forms. Create a form containing a button named Button2. Paste the code into the form and associate the Button2_Click method with the button's Click event.

private:
   void Button2_Click( System::Object^ /*sender*/, System::EventArgs^ /*e*/ )
   {
      try
      {
         Bitmap^ image1 = dynamic_cast<Bitmap^>(Image::FromFile( "C:\\Documents and Settings\\"
         "All Users\\Documents\\My Music\\music.bmp", true ));
         TextureBrush^ texture = gcnew TextureBrush( image1 );
         texture->WrapMode = System::Drawing::Drawing2D::WrapMode::Tile;
         Graphics^ formGraphics = this->CreateGraphics();
         formGraphics->FillEllipse( texture, RectangleF(90.0F,110.0F,100,100) );
         delete formGraphics;
      }
      catch ( System::IO::FileNotFoundException^ ) 
      {
         MessageBox::Show( "There was an error opening the bitmap."
         "Please check the path." );
      }
   }

private void Button2_Click(System.Object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    try
    {
        Bitmap image1 = (Bitmap) Image.FromFile(@"C:\Documents and Settings\" +
            @"All Users\Documents\My Music\music.bmp", true);

        TextureBrush texture = new TextureBrush(image1);
        texture.WrapMode = System.Drawing.Drawing2D.WrapMode.Tile;
        Graphics formGraphics = this.CreateGraphics();
        formGraphics.FillEllipse(texture, 
            new RectangleF(90.0F, 110.0F, 100, 100));
        formGraphics.Dispose();
    }
    catch(System.IO.FileNotFoundException)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("There was an error opening the bitmap." +
            "Please check the path.");
    }
}

Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
    ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
    Try
        Dim image1 As Bitmap = _
            CType(Image.FromFile("C:\Documents and Settings\" _
            & "All Users\Documents\My Music\music.bmp", True), Bitmap)

        Dim texture As New TextureBrush(image1)
        texture.WrapMode = Drawing2D.WrapMode.Tile
        Dim formGraphics As Graphics = Me.CreateGraphics()
        formGraphics.FillEllipse(texture, _
            New RectangleF(90.0F, 110.0F, 100, 100))
        formGraphics.Dispose()

    Catch ex As System.IO.FileNotFoundException
        MessageBox.Show("There was an error opening the bitmap." _
            & "Please check the path.")
    End Try

End Sub

Remarks

Note

In .NET 6 and later versions, the System.Drawing.Common package, which includes this type, is only supported on Windows operating systems. Use of this type in cross-platform apps causes compile-time warnings and run-time exceptions. For more information, see System.Drawing.Common only supported on Windows.

Properties

Image	Gets the Image object associated with this TextureBrush object.
Transform	Gets or sets a copy of the Matrix object that defines a local geometric transformation for the image associated with this TextureBrush object.
WrapMode	Gets or sets a WrapMode enumeration that indicates the wrap mode for this TextureBrush object.

Methods

Clone()	Creates an exact copy of this TextureBrush object.
CreateObjRef(Type)	Creates an object that contains all the relevant information required to generate a proxy used to communicate with a remote object. (Inherited from MarshalByRefObject)
