What do you mean with "open a BMP(bitmap picture) sourcecode file"? What are you going to do with the bitmap once you have opened it?

Did you try Google for this? There are tons of articles about image handling in C#.

Anyway, like I asked before: what are you going to do with the bitmap? Do you just need the width and height? Or are you going to change the image, load it in a PictureBox or do something else with it?

But in its simplest form, you retrieve the Width and Height like this:

Code:

  Image curImage = Image.FromFile(@"C:\MyBitmap.bmp");
  MessageBox.Show(curImage.Width.ToString());

Cheers,
