Hi,

I have a need to read out data that was compressed using the JPEG
compression algorithm.  Is there anything, e.g. in the System.Drawing
library, that I can use to decompress this data?

Thanks,

Hi,

I'm not sure of it. IIRC jpeg has a header with metadata about the
image. In your case (just a chunk of dynamic data) do not have this
info.
Of course, you can always implement it , it's not that difficult after
all
.
