BMP width & height, FileStream Learn programming C#



Lesson:

File Management


Exercise:

BMP width & height, FileStream


Objetive:

Create a C# program to display the width and height of a BMP file using a FileStream.

Remember the structure of the BMP header:

File type (letters BM)
0-1

File Size
2-5

Reserved
6-7

Reserved
8-9

Start of image data
10-13

Size of bitmap header
14-17

Width (pixels)
18-21

Height (pixels)
22-25

Number of planes
26-27

Size of each point
28-29

Compression (0=not compressed)
30-33

Image size
34-37

Horizontal resolution
38-41

Vertical resolution
42-45

Size of color table
46-49

Important colors counter
50-53


Code:

using System;
using System.IO;
public class exercise188
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        FileStream myFile;
        byte[] data;
        int width, height;
        const int SIZE = 54;

        Console.Write("Enter the name of file: ");
        string fileName = Console.ReadLine();

        if (!File.Exists(fileName))
        {
            Console.WriteLine("The file not exists!!!");
            return;
        }

        try
        {
            myFile = File.OpenRead(fileName);
            data = new byte[SIZE];
            myFile.Read(data, 0, SIZE);
            myFile.Close();

            byte b1 = data[0];
            byte b2 = data[1];

            if ((Convert.ToChar(b1) != 'B')
                || (Convert.ToChar(b2) != 'M'))
            {
                Console.WriteLine("This File is NOT a BMP file");
                return;
            }

            width = data[18] + (data[19] * 256) + (data[20] * 256 * 256) +
            (data[21] * 256 * 256 * 256);

            height = data[22] + (data[23] * 256) + (data[24] * 256 * 256) +
            (data[25] * 256 * 256 * 256);

            Console.WriteLine("Width: {0} - Heigth: {1}", width, height);
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Error: {0}!!!", e.message());
        }
    }
}
