Omnicoder Posted January 31, 2009 Author Share Posted January 31, 2009 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omnicoder Posted January 31, 2009 Author Share Posted January 31, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Brown Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Why do we need this For the same reason that PDN and other programs can save Photoshop files, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pyrochild Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 The error is because you don't have PaintDotNet.Strings.3.Resources in wherever you're running your program from. You need that. To add layers to a document, use document.Layers.Add(new BitmapLayer(Surface.CopyFromBitmap(image))) Quote ambigram signature by Kemaru [i write plugins and stuff] If you like a post, upvote it!
