EncoderParameter Constructor (Encoder, Int64)

Initializes a new instance of the EncoderParameter class with the specified Encoder object and one 64-bit integer. Sets the ValueType property to ValueTypeLong (32 bits), and sets the NumberOfValues property to 1.

Namespace:  System.Drawing.Imaging
Assembly:  System.Drawing (in System.Drawing.dll)
public EncoderParameter(
	Encoder encoder,
	long value
)

Parameters

encoder
Type: System.Drawing.Imaging.Encoder
An Encoder object that encapsulates the globally unique identifier of the parameter category.
value
Type: System.Int64
A 64-bit integer that specifies the value stored in the EncoderParameter object. Must be nonnegative. This parameter is converted to a 32-bit integer before it is stored in the EncoderParameter object.

The following code example demonstrates how to create a EncoderParameter using the EncoderParameter constructor. To run this example, paste the code into a Windows Form and call the VaryQualityLevel method from the form's constructor. This example requires an image file named TestPhoto.jpg located at c:\.


private void VaryQualityLevel()
{
    // Get a bitmap.
    Bitmap bmp1 = new Bitmap(@"c:\TestPhoto.jpg");
    ImageCodecInfo jgpEncoder = GetEncoder(ImageFormat.Jpeg);

    // Create an Encoder object based on the GUID
    // for the Quality parameter category.
    System.Drawing.Imaging.Encoder myEncoder =
        System.Drawing.Imaging.Encoder.Quality;

    // Create an EncoderParameters object.
    // An EncoderParameters object has an array of EncoderParameter
    // objects. In this case, there is only one
    // EncoderParameter object in the array.
    EncoderParameters myEncoderParameters = new EncoderParameters(1);

    EncoderParameter myEncoderParameter = new EncoderParameter(myEncoder, 50L);
    myEncoderParameters.Param[0] = myEncoderParameter;
    bmp1.Save(@"c:\TestPhotoQualityFifty.jpg", jgpEncoder, myEncoderParameters);

    myEncoderParameter = new EncoderParameter(myEncoder, 100L);
    myEncoderParameters.Param[0] = myEncoderParameter;
    bmp1.Save(@"c:\TestPhotoQualityHundred.jpg", jgpEncoder, myEncoderParameters);

    // Save the bitmap as a JPG file with zero quality level compression.
    myEncoderParameter = new EncoderParameter(myEncoder, 0L);
    myEncoderParameters.Param[0] = myEncoderParameter;
    bmp1.Save(@"c:\TestPhotoQualityZero.jpg", jgpEncoder, myEncoderParameters);

}


...


private ImageCodecInfo GetEncoder(ImageFormat format)
{

    ImageCodecInfo[] codecs = ImageCodecInfo.GetImageDecoders();

    foreach (ImageCodecInfo codec in codecs)
    {
        if (codec.FormatID == format.Guid)
        {
            return codec;
        }
    }
    return null;
}
