How can I get the PixelFormat of a Bitmap using .NET CF 2.0?

Question

I'm trying to speed up performance of some image scaling & coloring routines in a mobile app based on .Net compact framework 2.0. I've discovered the Bitmap.LockBits method, but how can I get a Bitmap's PixelFormat when the PixelFormat property is not supported in the compact framework?

Answer 1

The OpenNetCF Framework contains a BitmapData class that implements the PixelFormat property.

Answer 2

Here is an example of adding something that is not by default supported by .netCF. You can try the same approach.
