Writing to Drawing.Bitmap object instead of a physical file

I have a graphics library from a third party that has a method which creates a bitmap inside a folder. I want this method to write to a Drawing.Bitmap object instead of a physical file. Can I do this in .net

I am using C# 1.1

thanks.

I guess it depends on what the third party library allows. If you can get the bytes in memory instead of dumping them to a file, then yes, you can do this.

System.Drawing.Bitmap has several constructors that take a Stream, so you could create it from a MemoryStream. Something like this (rough, untested:)

byte[] imgBytes = thirdPartyLibrary.GetImage();

System.IO.MemoryStream stream = new System.IO.MemoryStream(imgBytes);
System.Drawing.Bitmap bitmap = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(stream);
