i im trying to make a .tga image converter in c# and i get this message:
System.OutOfMemoryException: 'Out of memory.'

What I have tried:

System.Drawing.Image image = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(@"C:thefiles/thing.tga");
image.Save(@"C:\Users\Me\Desktop\imagetest.png",System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);

Which line throws that error?
Member 13915301 18-Jul-18 14:52pm    
first line

I don't think Targa images are natively supported. You may want to check out .NET Targa Image Reader[^] for the reading part of the problem.

what step are you doing when "it" says it and what is "it"?

Did you grab that project, or are you just using commands without it?
Just for completeness.

The exception type / error message is misleading but documented:
Remarks

Managed GDI+ has built-in encoders and decoders that support the following file types:
BMP
GIF
JPEG
PNG
TIFF

The file remains locked until the Image is disposed.

If the file does not have a valid image format or if GDI+ does not support the pixel format of the file, this method throws an OutOfMemoryException exception.
So TGA images are not natively supported and require to be handled by own code or using a library.

Wow, someone actually documented that without taking the time to say, "hey, let's change that to an exception that describes what went wrong"...sad :)

That will never happen because creating a new exception might let existing applications terminate when they did not catch generic exceptions (System.Exception and System.SystemException) but only the specific exceptions that might occur.

Yep, I understand its stuck now. However, I was hoping maybe somebody wrote documentation before they released it. In which case, they could have fixed it before release. I know, I know...novel concept actually writing documentation for a product BEFORE release...also, never going to happen :)

The culprit is the GDI+ function GdipLoadImageFromFile() which returns the GpStatus code 3 (OutOfMemory) when loading the image fails due to an unsupported image format or a corrupted file.

There is the GpStatus code 13 (UnknownImageFormat). I guess that it was a typo in the source code which was detected too late.

That's funny...the old "missing digit" excuse. That at least puts it in prspective..oops missed an "e"...seriously, thank you for brightening my day!
