BitmapData.Scan0 Property
Gets or sets the address of the first pixel data in the bitmap. This can also be thought of as the first scan line in the bitmap.
Assembly: System.Drawing (in System.Drawing.dll)
The following code example demonstrates how to use the PixelFormat, Height, Width, and Scan0 properties; the LockBits and UnlockBits methods; and the ImageLockMode enumeration. This example is designed to be used with Windows Forms. To run this example, paste it into a form and handle the form's Paint event by calling the LockUnlockBitsExample method, passing e as PaintEventArgs.

The following example code was created for use with an image with the Format24bppRgb format. |
private void LockUnlockBitsExample(PaintEventArgs e)
{
// Create a new bitmap.
Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap("c:\\fakePhoto.jpg");
// Lock the bitmap's bits.
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(0, 0, bmp.Width, bmp.Height);
System.Drawing.Imaging.BitmapData bmpData =
bmp.LockBits(rect, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageLockMode.ReadWrite,
bmp.PixelFormat);
// Get the address of the first line.
IntPtr ptr = bmpData.Scan0;
// Declare an array to hold the bytes of the bitmap.
int bytes = Math.Abs(bmpData.Stride) * bmp.Height;
��� byte[] rgbValues = new byte[bytes];
// Copy the RGB values into the array.
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.Copy(ptr, rgbValues, 0, bytes);
// Set every third value to 255. A 24bpp bitmap will look red.
for (int counter = 2; counter < rgbValues.Length; counter += 3)
rgbValues[counter] = 255;
// Copy the RGB values back to the bitmap
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.Copy(rgbValues, 0, ptr, bytes);
// Unlock the bits.
bmp.UnlockBits(bmpData);
// Draw the modified image.
e.Graphics.DrawImage(bmp, 0, 150);
