[vb.net] Save Image from Bitmap?

[Templarian]

I have found an article describing the problem, but have been unsuccessful in getting it to work. See if an image is opened then saved it seems to think the image is opened (therefore locked), so it can't be resaved to the same location.

Open:
Dim dlg As OpenFileDialog = New OpenFileDialog()
dlg.Filter = "Tile files (*.png)|*.png|All files (*.*)|*.*"
Dim res As DialogResult = dlg.ShowDialog()
If res = 1 Then
workingimage = Image.FromFile(dlg.FileName)
workingimagesave = dlg.FileName
End If

Save:
workingimage.save(workingimagesave)

Thanks.

Did the Bitmap.Dispose() line not work, or is it not relevant to what you are trying to do? Both of those approaches in your link look messy for something that should be simple.

^Nothing I've tried works and I don't understand enough to make their horrid reply for a work around work. One would think they would give a VB.net C# ect... example of some sort.

STATUS
This behavior is by design.Its obvious why its suppose to be there but logically it doesn't make sense why its so hard to get around it.

And no the bitmap dispose seems to do nothing from what I've tested. Thanks anyhow.
