mCore™ .NET SMS Library 1.2

PictureSMS.BitmapFile Property

Description:

The BitmapFile property gets or sets the bitmap file to send as Picture SMS. The bitmap file resolution should be maximum 255 x 255 pixels and should be in multiples of 8.

mCore Picture SMS supports bitmap filetypes bmp, jpg, jpeg, jpe, jfif, gif, png, tif and tiff.

Picture SMS can send only monochrome bitmaps (8-bit depth), therefore if you specify a coloured bitmap file for sending, mCore will convert it into a monochrome bitmap internally (without changing the original file) before sending it.

Namespace: mCore
Assembly: mCoreLib (in mCoreLib.dll)

Exceptions:

mCore.PictureSMSException
mCore.GeneralException

Usage Example:

Visual Basic

Public Class MyClass
   Public WithEvents objSMS As New mCore.SMS

   Public Sub SendPictureSMS()
      Dim objPicSMS As mCore.PictureSMS = objSMS.PictureSMS
      Try
