I'm trying to write a program that sorts images in specific folder by ther dimensions and moves little images to another folder via simple .NET console application. I decided to use System.Drawing.Image class to get the image dimentions from an image file. But I face following error:
The type or namespace name 'Image' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly referrence?)
What exactly did I do wrong and why it doesn't see this class? Here are the complete code of my program:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.IO;
using System.Drawing;
namespace ImageSort
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string targetPath = @"d:\SmallImages";
string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(@"d:\Images");
foreach (string path in files)
{
if (File.Exists(path))
{
Image newImage = Image.FromFile(path);
var Width = (int)(newImage.Width);
var Height = (int)(newImage.Height);
if (Width * Height < 660000) {
System.IO.File.Move(path, targetPath);
}
}
}
}
}
}
You need to add a reference : System.Drawing.dll.
In Solution Explorer
, right-click on the References
node and choose Add Reference
and find System.Drawing.dll
.
