Rotating an Image and saving
My Boss came up to me today and said:
"Hey, you know what would be cool? If we could distribute a simple little program that would allow out digital frame users to preview the images on their memory cards (in a simulated frame) and rotate and images that were shot with the camera in the vertical position instead of horizontal postion.. get that done soon.. ok?"
I argued a little bit that there were "100 ways for the user to do this", but he insisted that our users would "love us" for a custom solution...
Well... the problem is I have very limited programming experience (just basic VB 6) and no idea how to implement this "idea", but I know I can probably get an ActiveX or something to do this..
(note: I can probably do it in VB.net as at first glance it looks similar to good ole VB)
Does anyone know :
1. Where I should start
2. Where I can find an example of this or something similar
3. If there is a easy solution to this problem.
My day went from bad to worse and I need a little sunshine!

If you want to save the picture from the picture box do this.
Picture1.Savepicture("c:\r
Picture1.Savepicture("c:\r
Any progress?

Works great for rotating images!

>>Picture1.Savepicture("c:
I tried that first.
I would have thought that would work, but it doesn't.
I also tried sending the reults to a second picture box and then saving that and I get nothing but the color of the box.
I don't think the rotation is being applied to the actual image assigned to the picture box.
It's weird but I will figure it out.
I have posted this querstion (for saving) elewhere.

>>"Tell me if you need some more complex technique....."
No nothing more complex.. but I need to save the resulting image.
Is that easy? Should I accept this and then post a new question?
