Get/Set a point on a PictureBox Class

[macai]

I need to set a point on a PictureBox class to a certain color. I'll also need to read this point. This point of course, has to be based on x/y coordinates.

Is there any way to do this?

Also, I'm using the freeware Mono C# compiler, so no fancy IDE for me.

You should use the Bitmap Class and call its GetPixel/SetPixel functions.

Unless you want maximum performance, in which case you should use LockBits/UnlockBits and pointers into the contiguous pixel data, this should only be done if you are setting / testing a lot of pixels.

The latter is complicated so give SetPisel a whirl first, it may be fast enough for you on its own.

Thanks, I'll check both of them out.

And yes, I will be setting/getting alot of pixels. I'm writing a stupid game that has a gameplay style similar to Sam & Max Hit the Road or Day of the TEntacle.

Thanks again. Have a good one.
