Both TWAIN and WIA are losing ground regarding support for newer, higher resolution hardware. Have you considered adding support for DirectDraw or DirectX so we would have a well known, consistent .NET-ready imaging interface?

Thanks,

We started out with GDPicture v5 using TWAIN for camera and scanner image capture. We then upgraded to GDPicture v9 and subsequently v10 and added WIA (Windows Image Acquisition) support for a broader list of supported devices. Now it seems that WIA is on its way out and WPD (Windows Portable Device...

It sounds like there has been progress on the 2D matrix features in the DotNET product (post11236.html#p11236). Any word on whether we'll see this added to the ActiveX based product? Thanks!

Loic mentioned in August that September would see the beginning of development for 2D matrix creation, which would take an estimated 1 - 2 months. Is this currently still in the works? We are very interested in this!

Very exciting, looking forward to adding these features into our products, thank you!

Will this include the ability to generate a DataMatrix, or only to read them?

With the addition of DataMatrix, is QR Code on the way?

Hello, I'm checking in to see if there are any plans for adding the production of QR Code (or other 2D barcode formats) to the BarCodeDrawXxx method list? Interest in these seems to be growing rapidly.

Thanks.

Hi, In working with the GDPicuture library on a large project, I have run into some issues with memory creep over time. Granted, this comes from bad code logic not closing out images after the logic is done with them, but a useful feature for the GDPicture library would be a Flush method that would ...

I am having a problem with the part of my code that adds borders to things like photos, etc. The logic flow is layering several 32BppARGB images into a single composite, and when it adds a border to any image, the border becomes transparent if it was pure black (Colors.Black = -16777216). Any other ...

When attempting to obtain the resolution of an image file, I occasionally get a popup from GDPicture stating, "Invalid Image: Can not get picture vertical resolution". How do I tell GDPicture to no do this so I retain control over my user experience? gdpicturepro5.ocx v5.11.4 Thanks, -Ross

In general, from my experience with the GDPicture library, you must explicitly close all image handles that you open (pretend your developingin C or C++). The default garbage collection and memory handling that VB provides does not catch any open images, which can lead to orphaned file locks, access...

I haven't tested this, but as I understand it, are you using Encode64String after you have the string representation of the image?

Thank you, I tried the new 5.11.0 release and obtained the same results. I have emailed eSupport with the logs and sample dialog source.

I have a dialog that scans that TWAIN devices, querying for basic details to present a Device Selection list for the user. This works great on most systems, however a user just installed this latest and is getting a general application crash when this routine runs. Attached is an excerpt of a couple...

The issue was resolved. The customer had v5.10.0.3, so I updated them to v5.10.0.14 and it resolved the issue of the "temp" files being generated. As a side note, it was occuring for all image types, not just PDF.
