hi all,
I am working on a signature capture control class provided by microsoft :~ from
using the vb.net compact frameworks
I have adapted the backend to have an SQL connection to store a load of signatures at a time.
I have one column inside the database named 'recSign' defined as an 'image' attribute
From the signature class I am using _signature.signatureBits byte array and storing it to the database image column.
My problem is I believe the byte array is not a true image representation as I am having issues reinterperting it as an image.
For instance when the database is viewed within the visual basic view the image is a red cross.
What I would like to be able to do is store the signature capture as a pure image inside the database so that 3rd party programs would read the database column and show a proper image.
I truly hope someone understands this and can provide some help
I will post the signature class next.
(I have tried things like image.fromstream but the compact framwork will not compile this, lol)
Many thanks
