Hi all,
When I add an image as the parameter to a web service I get the following error.
System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat cannot be serialized because it does not have a parametless constructor.

How can I send an Image to the server as a web service parameter?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

1) The class indeed doenst have a paramterless constructor- a default contructor.
2) The class is sealed i.e. not inheritable, which blocks a few possiblities that could be explored.
3) The class is not serializable, so I'm not sure if you can use it as a parameter in a webmethod, at all, i.e.
IF you are using it in a webmethod.

If you are doing a usual image file transfer, then it shouldnt be an issue.

Thanks Ankur,
I will look into that.
I guess it is just an image file transfer, I am sending a signature panel image from a pocket pc to the server.
Many Thanks,
Rod

Hi again Ankur,
I have been looking into various area to get the job done without too much success.
Is it possible to programmatically send an MMS from Pocket PC Phone edition using C#?
I am still looking into the dime solution but I am finding it hard to transfer the information I find to the device environment at the moment, due to my lack of experience in this area.
Many thanks,
Rod

I think I have solved my problem.
I have converted the image into a byte array and used that as the parameter for hte web service.
I haven't completed the web service component to test, but its looking better.
Thanks for your assistance.
