This example shows how to drag and drop images in C#. The example Drag and drop text in C# explains basic drag and drop operations. Does cricut maker work with android. See that example for the fundamentals.

In this article. When you select an image file (such as.ico,.bmp,.png) in Solution Explorer, the image opens in the Image Editor in the same way that code files open in the Code Editor.When an Image Editor tab is active, you see toolbars with many tools for creating and editing images. Along with bitmaps, icons, and cursors, you can edit images in GIF or JPEG format using commands on the. The Visual Studio Image Editor not only works great with image files, but also understands DirectDraw Surface (DDS) texture files. Besides the basic viewing and drawing functionality, you can also toggle RGBA channels, generate mip-maps, and apply filters. This image editor is capable of accomplishing many texture editing tasks. Visual Studio Code is a code editor redefined and optimized for building and debugging modern web and cloud applications. Visual Studio Code is free and available on your favorite platform.

One of the first things you must do before implementing drag and drop is set the AllowDrop property to true for the control that should accept a drop. For some reason, Visual Studio does not display this property in the properties window for the PictureBox control. IntelliSense doesn't even admit the property exists! Clearly Microsoft doesn't expect you to drag and drop images.

However, the Control class implements AllowDrop and PictureBox inherits from Control, so the property does exist. You simply need to set it in code at run time and you need to ignore IntelliSense's refusal to believe it exists. Microsoft says:

The PictureBox control is not designed to allow drag and drop procedures. However, since PictureBox inherits from control, it also inherits the AllowDrop property. To clarify this, in the next release of the documentation, the PictureBox.AllowDrop topic will be marked with the 'for internal use only' boilerplate. Also, the PictureBox.AllowDrop property will not appear in intellisense if you are using the Visual Studio text editor.

Basically Microsoft says this is by design and most people wouldn't want to do this anyway. I have no clue what they are thinking.

Anyway the following code shows how the program sets this property at run time.

The following code shows the other drag and drop event handlers used by this example.

This code is similar to the previous example, so see that one for details.

Drag and drop is covered in my book Stephens' C# Programming with Visual Studio 2010 24-Hour Trainer.

Visual Studio 2017 Image Editor

Overview

This is an extension for the Visual Studio code editor that allows images to be displayed amongst code, allowing for visually rich comments. For example..

Usage Info

Preamble

Disclaimer: This project is a WIP and it's pretty rough around the edges. Please report issues on the GitHub repo.

Supported Visual Studio Verions 2010~2015 (2017 warns about missing support, but works)

Download/Installation

To install double-click/activate the VSIX file.

How to use

Image-comments are declared with:

/// or ///

The optional scale attribute multiplies the source width and height (ranges from 0.01 to 100). Since 1.1.4.4 scaled images are anti aliased.

The optional opacity attribute is available since 1.1.4.4 (from 0.0 to 1.0):///

// You can also specify the bgcolor attribute to set a background color for pictures with transparent areas, the color is specified as hex number: RRGGBB or RRGGBBAA, optionally you can use a short hand notation RGB.

You can use the VS environment variables $(ProjectDir), $(SolutionDir), and $(ItemDir) in URLs, e.g.:

#

From 1.1.4.3 on you can also use relative paths (relative to the source file).

Images from URL will be downloaded and not updated as long as the file exists in the user temp directory.

Please note, if you use docfx at the same time, these environment variables must not be used, because docfx expects the images in a directory, e.g. './images'.

Images are displayed using the WPF Image control with a BitmapFrame source, and accepted image and URL formats are tied to those, e.g. BMP, PNG, JPG all work as image formats, and C:PathToImage.png, http://www.server.com/image.png and serverfolderimage.png all work as URLs.

If there's a problem trying to load the image or parse the tag, the tag will be squiggly-underlined and hovering over this will show the error, e.g

The languages currently supported are Python, C#, F# (fixme), C, C++ and VB.

Image-comments don't really have anything to do with XML comments, but the format is convenient and it should be pretty straight-forward to transform them for Sandcastle documentation creation.

The extension adds a command in the Tools menu to toggle image-comment display on or off.

Uninstallation

In VS, open the Extension Manager, select ImageComments, then click uninstall. A restart of VS is required.

Some known issues

  • After adding an image-comment using a local image, you can't edit the image until VS is closed.
  • The caret/selection highlight height on image-comment lines grows as high the image.
  • You need to scroll/'bump' the editor window to see the effect of the on/off toggle command.

Visual Studio 2015 Image Editor Download

Development Info

Requires: Visual Studio 2015 SDK

Build instructions

Providing the VS SDK is installed, you should be able to build by opening the solution and hitting F6. Debugging has to be configured manually - On the Project Properties->Debug tab, choose 'Start External Program' and command line e.g. (if using default install location) 'C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0Common7IDEdevenv.exe' with arguments '/rootsuffix Exp'. The 'Release' build configuration copies the .vsix package into the Solution's .Output directory.

Program structure

It's a very small project and may be fairly self explanatory if you are familiar with Visual Studio editor extensions.There are two components to the extension:

  • ImageCommentsEditorComponent. Contains 97% of the functionality.
  • ImageCommentsPackage. Adds a command to enable/disable functionality; VSIX definition.

For testing information, see .TestingTesting.html

Some known implementation issues

The code is a bit rough - it may not need a rewrite from scratch, but there's a bunch of stuff to be done

  • Images downloaded from an URL might not show up right away
  • Error/exception handling should be improved
  • Program/project structure could be improved
  • No automated tests and manual testing has been limited.
  • There are some fairly obvious potential optimisations, but so far performance impact on plain Visual Studio seems minimal (in a release build on a 1.4GHz Core 2 Duo laptop with 1GB RAM). It would probably just add unneccessary complexity, but further testing might show otherwise.
