Mhmmm thanks that worked.

Mhmmm thanks that worked.

Because I don't want to output 7 PNG files and tell the user to put them each in paintdotnet in a different layer and save it. It's useless without saving PDNs.

Because I don't want to output 7 PNG files and tell the user to put them each in paintdotnet in a different layer and save it. It's useless without saving PDNs.

I have been trying (using vb.net) to allow my (free) application to save pngs as seperate layers in a .pdn file. I've tried importing all of the dll's from paintdotnet's install folder but I got a resource error trying to add an image to a layer. I tried using files from an old copy of the source and it also didn't work. How do I add pngs to seperate layers and save as pdn? code I was using to (try) and add an image Dim g As New PaintDotNet.Document(640, 480) g = PaintDotNet.Document.FromImage(PictureBox1.Image) Dim i As New FileStream("C:\users\\desktop\test.pdn", FileMode.OpenOrCreate) g.SaveToStream(i) error: Hidden Content: System.Resources.MissingManifestResourceException was unhandled Message="Could not find any resources appropriate for the specified culture (or the neutral culture) on disk. baseName: PaintDotNet.Strings.3 locationInfo: fileName: PaintDotNet.Strings.3.resources" Source="mscorlib" StackTrace: at System.Resources.ResourceManager.InternalGetResourceSet(CultureInfo culture, Boolean createIfNotExists, Boolean tryParents) at System.Resources.ResourceManager.InternalGetResourceSet(CultureInfo culture, Boolean createIfNotExists, Boolean tryParents) at System.Resources.ResourceManager.InternalGetResourceSet(CultureInfo culture, Boolean createIfNotExists, Boolean tryParents) at System.Resources.ResourceManager.GetString(String name, CultureInfo culture) at PaintDotNet.PdnResources.GetString(String stringName) at PaintDotNet.Layer.CreateBackgroundLayer(Int32 width, Int32 height) at PaintDotNet.Document.FromImage(Image image) at WinLayers.Form1.Button2_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) in C:\Users\Alex\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\WinLayers\WinLayers\Form1.vb:line 11 at System.Windows.Forms.Control.OnClick(EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.Button.OnClick(EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.Button.OnMouseUp(MouseEventArgs mevent) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WmMouseUp(Message& m, MouseButtons button, Int32 clicks) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.ButtonBase.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Button.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.OnMessage(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.DebuggableCallback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam) at System.Windows.Forms.UnsafeNativeMethods.DispatchMessageW(MSG& msg) at System.Windows.Forms.Application.ComponentManager.System.Windows.Forms.UnsafeNativeMethods.IMsoComponentManager.FPushMessageLoop(Int32 dwComponentID, Int32 reason, Int32 pvLoopData) at System.Windows.Forms.Application.ThreadContext.RunMessageLoopInner(Int32 reason, ApplicationContext context) at System.Windows.Forms.Application.ThreadContext.RunMessageLoop(Int32 reason, ApplicationContext context) at System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run(ApplicationContext context) at Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices.WindowsFormsApplicationBase.OnRun() at Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices.WindowsFormsApplicationBase.DoApplicationModel() at Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices.WindowsFormsApplicationBase.Run(String[] commandLine) at WinLayers.My.MyApplication.Main(String[] Args) in 17d14f5c-a337-4978-8281-53493378c1071.vb:line 81 at System.AppDomain._nExecuteAssembly(Assembly assembly, String[] args) at System.AppDomain.ExecuteAssembly(String assemblyFile, Evidence assemblySecurity, String[] args) at Microsoft.VisualStudio.HostingProcess.HostProc.RunUsersAssembly() at System.Threading.ThreadHelper.ThreadStart_Context(Object state) at System.Threading.ExecutionContext.Run(ExecutionContext executionContext, ContextCallback callback, Object state) at System.Threading.ThreadHelper.ThreadStart() InnerException:
