When constructing a Bitmap with Image.FromHbitmap(), how soon can the original bitmap handle be deleted?

From the documentation of Image.FromHbitmap() at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/k061we7x%28VS.80%29.aspx : The FromHbitmap method makes a copy of the GDI bitmap; so you can release the incoming GDI bitmap using the GDIDeleteObject method immediately after creating the new Image. This pretty explicitly states that the bitm...

As I'm bringing in images into my program, I want to determine if: they have an alpha-channel if that alpha-channel is used #1 is simple enough with using Image.IsAlphaPixelFormat.

I have a panel. I need to represent it in WYSIWYG. Now, when drawing on it, is possible to draw using millimeters instead of pixels. graphics.PageUnit = GraphicsUnit.Millimeter graphics.DrawRectangle(pen,rect) Is it possible to position the controls(buttons, textboxes) also in millimeters, in order to get a "real" paper image of the...

Should I use .NET's built-in double buffering or my own implementation?

I am doing some GDI+ drawing in Visual C++ and noticed that my canvas doesn't look the best when scrolling, resizing, etc... due to lots of flickering and slow redraws. From what I've read, the solution is to double buffer but there are conflicting suggestions on how to implement. A few sources suggest to use the existing .NET implement...

The spec states: Tint: Shifts effect color values either towards or away from hue by ...

System.Drawing.Graphics Transform() methods: use for zoom, pan?

I'm building a very simple vector graphics application using GDI+. Obviously I don't want the default measurement unit to be the pixel, so right now I'm using a complicated system that involves a variable called the "scale factor" and a point called the "offset".
