[C#] Loading bitmap from a stream

[King Harold]

you're probably thinking "what?!? he can't even do that?!"
well I can, but I want to load it from the stream starting at a position other than zero. Simply setting the position (using seek or just writing to the position) does not seem to work. I didn't find anything using google, so I feared it may not be possible, but it almost has to be, it's something so simple..

I'd rather not do weird things like copying byte arrays to bitmap-data things, I guess that would work but it shouldn't have to be that complicated.

If that's the only possibility then ofcourse it's ok..

I'm surprised seeking doesn't work, but can't verify it from here.

If it's a huge problem, seek to the right place, create a new MemoryStream and dump the data from the file to the MemoryStream, then load from the MemoryStream.

Ah yes didn't think of that
Many thanks

I've used it with and old version of MDX that was incredibly slow to load textures from Bitmaps. I'd create a new MemoryStream, Bitmap.Save into it then load the texture from the stream (took a 2 minute load to a < 2s load).
