The ToFormat method of the Bitmap class converts the bitmap to a specified image format and returns the resulting image data as a byte array. This method is useful for exporting or saving the bitmap in different formats, such as PNG, JPEG, BMP, etc.
To use the ToFormat method, you need to specify the desired image format using the ImageFormat enumeration. The method will then process the bitmap and return the image data in the specified format.
// Example of converting a bitmap to a PNG format Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(); ImageFormat format = ImageFormat.Png; byte[] imageData = bitmap.ToFormat(format); // The imageData now contains the bitmap in PNG format, which can be saved to a file or used as needed.
