Hi,

I have been trying to write to a memory stream and read and display a meta file. I was ok with drawing on to the metafile. But what I cannot seem to do is read from the memory stream that I have written to. I get an exception saying, Additional information: A generic error occurred in GDI+.

I tried with a Filestream, here to I had to save the file and reopen it. Then it worked. I need to write the meta file contents to a memory stream and on the fly read from the stream. I would be glad if some one can help me with this :).

A small sample may do.

Also if any one knows how to change the resolution of a new metafile that we are to create, please let me know. It seems to be taking in the resolution of the reference device context.

Thanks
