Hello.

This post provides a quick solution for developers looking to extract individual bitmap images from an ImageList in C#. It demonstrates two approaches: direct saving to a file using the Save method with a specified file path and format, and saving to a MemoryStream for in-memory manipulation before further processing or storage. The MemoryStream approach offers greater flexibility for image operations.

In this first part of my image processing series, I'm sharing how I used the Yahoo Search API to find images and load them into a C# application. I was excited to discover how straightforward it is to query for images and then seamlessly integrate the results into my project. The process involves constructing a REST query with search parameters, sending the request to Yahoo, receiving the XML response, and deserializing it into a custom data type. Then, I iterate through each image result in the response, create another query to download the image, and finally, convert the downloaded stream into a Bitmap and load it into an ImageList. Stay tuned for more in this series!
