Loads Targa image files into a Bitmap using pure .NET code

TargaImage is availble on CodeProject.com

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/GDI-plus/dotnettargareader.aspx


TargaImage was created with Visual Studio 2008 Standard using C# 3.0 and the .NET Framework 2.0


To use TargaImage copy the TargaImage.dll file from the Release folder in the Bin folder to your own project.
Then include a reference to TargaImage.dll in your project.

To load a targa image call the LoadTargaImage() method of the Paloma.TargaImage class.
Or if you want access to the image properties create an instance of the TargaImage class.

EXAMPLES:
    

    //   C# Sample   
    //   Loads a targa image and assigns it to the Image of a picturebox control.
    this.PictureBox1.Image = Paloma.TargaImage.LoadTargaImage(@"c:\targaimage.tga");
    
    //   Creates an instance of the TargaImage class with the specifed file
    //   displays a few targa properties and then assigns the targa image
    //   to the Image of a picturebox control
    Paloma.TargaImage tgaImage = new Paloma.TargaImage(@"c:\targaimage.tga");
    this.Label1.Text = tgaImage.Format.ToString();
    this.Label2.Text = tgaImage.Header.ImageType.ToString();
    this.Label3.Text = tgaImage.Header.PixelDepth.ToString();
    this.PictureBox1.Image = Paloma.TargaImage.Image;
    
    
    
    '   VB.NET Sample 
    '   Loads a targa image and assigns it to the Image of a picturebox control.
    Me.PictureBox1.Image = Paloma.TargaImage.LoadTargaImage("c:\targaimage.tga")

    
    '   Creates an instance of the TargaImage class with the specifed file
    '   displays a few targa properties and then assigns the targa image
    '   to the Image of a picturebox control
    Dim tgaImage As New Paloma.TargaImage("c:\targaimage.tga")
    Me.Label1.Text = tgaImage.Format.ToString()
    Me.Label2.Text = tgaImage.Header.ImageType.ToString()
    Me.Label3.Text = tgaImage.Header.PixelDepth.ToString()
    Me.PictureBox1.Image = Paloma.TargaImage.Image
