Help Please! IPicture

[cdrcools]

Does anyone know if theres a way of converting an IPicture Image to something like a string, so it can be sent through Winsock to another app
and then converted back into IPicture.

cause it will save me having to save it to a file and sending the whole file.

Open file in Binary mode and send it by Winsock or you can Use GetChunk Method.

Thats just opening the file and sending chunks
I want to convert the data from a picturebox to a string or something else so i can send it directly to another program

You can get the image data without saving to a file. It depends on exactly what you are doing, but there are a few ways which come to mind.

One way is to use API, such as GetDIBits or GetBitmapBits. Another way is to use a PropertyBag. There are probably enough threads on these to put a function together, and of course there's always Google.
