Why am I getting an out of memory exception?
So this dies in C# on the first time through:
splitBitmaps.Add(neededImage.Clone(rectDimensions, neededImage.PixelFormat));
Where splitBitmaps is a List<BitMap> BUT this works in VB for at least 4 iterations:
arlSplitBitmaps.Add(Image.Clone(rectDimensions, Image.PixelFormat))
Where arlSplitBitmaps is a simple array list. (And yes I've tried arraylist in c#)
This is the fullsection:
for (Int32 splitIndex = 0; splitIndex <= numberOfResultingImages - 1; splitIndex++)
{
Rectangle rectDimensions;
if (splitIndex < numberOfResultingImages - 1)
{
rectDimensions = new Rectangle(splitImageWidth * splitIndex, 0,
splitImageWidth, splitImageHeight);
}
else
{
rectDimensions = new Rectangle(splitImageWidth * splitIndex, 0,
sourceImageWidth - (splitImageWidth * splitIndex), splitImageHeight);
}
splitBitmaps.Add(neededImage.Clone(rectDimensions, neededImage.PixelFormat));
}
neededImage is a Bitmap by the way.
I can't find any useful answers on the intarweb, especially not why it works just fine in VB.
Update:
I actually found a reason (sort of) for this working but forgot to post it. It has to do with converting the image to a bitmap instead of just trying to clone the raw image if I remember.

Clone() may also throw an Out of memory exception when the coordinates specified in the Rectangle are outside the bounds of the bitmap. It will not clip them automatically for you.
