Question

I’m trying to (for educational purposes) create a image format, in order to display I’d like to be able to do something like SetPixel on some control to draw a pixel in the display area. How can I do this?

Answer 1

The most appropriate class for you is Bitmap which you can draw stright on form via Graphics class. Here is example:

    private void Form1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
    {
        Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(640, 480);
        bmp.SetPixel(10, 12, Color.Green);

        e.Graphics.DrawImage(bmp, new Point(0, 0));
    }
