Access GIF frames with C#

Question

I\'m a beginner in C#. I would like to know if there\'s a way to access different frames inside a GIF animation with C#. I\'m using Visual Studio 2008.

Answer 1

Try this:

using System.Drawing;    
using System.Drawing.Imaging;

Image gifImg = Image.FromFile(pathToGifFile);
FrameDimension dimension = new FrameDimension(gifImg.FrameDimensionsList[0]);
// Number of frames
int frameCount = gifImg.GetFrameCount(dimension);
// Return an Image at a certain index
gifImg.SelectActiveFrame(dimension, index);

Answer 2

a bit of googling: editing animated gif's in c#

You can read the animated Gif with Image.GetFrameCount() and SelectActiveFrame().
