>>I am using GDIPlusX 1.10 and the imgCanvas image class in gdiplusx.vcx on a form. I need to save the picture in the imgCanvas image container to a file but I can't seem to do that. All the gdiplusx examples have the save command directly from the object created from _SCREEN.system.drawing. There is a SAVE method in the imgCanvas class but I can't make that work.

>>I am using the Picture property of the image container to load the JPG file. Is that right or should I be loading it with GDIPlus? I'm new with this and kind of lost at the moment.

This.oBmp.Save("c:zmyImage.png", .Imaging.ImageFormat.Png)
