save Image from ImageEditor

[Salwa]

I want to save image from ImagEditor in code behind to external file by my own save method, I read that I can use the "IImageFormatProvide" interface for this target.
I have written the following code :
IImageFormatProvider formatProvider = ImageFormatProviderManager.GetFormatProviderByExtension(extension);
byte[] image = formatProvider.Export(this.ImageEditorUI.ImageEditor.Image);
I although tried to use the overload method: formatProvider.Export(this.ImageEditorUI.ImageEditor.Image,stream);
then I called my save method which take the byte array and save it in fileStream, but the Export method didn't work.
can you help me please.

Thanks.

Hello Salwa,

For reference, here's how the overload that returns byte[] is implemented:

using (MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream())
{
    this.Export(image, stream);
    return stream.ToArray();
}

This means that the byte[] overload uses internally the Stream overload, so if the former works, the latter should too. If you are continuing to experience issues with the latter, can you give us some specific information as to what exactly doesn't work so we can assist you further?

Hello Bala,

The Export() method of the IImageProvider you use to export the image from the RadImageEditor will return the byte array which you can use to upload the image on the server later.
For example, if you have an application with RadImageEditorUI in it, named "ImageEditorUI" and the image is with "png" extenstion, the following code block can be used to get the necessary byte[]:

PngFormatProvider provider = new PngFormatProvider();
byte[] bytes = provider.Export(this.ImageEditorUI.Image);

After you get the byte[], you can pass it to the appropriate service which will be responsible to upload the image on the server. You can read how to make such a service in this blog post.

More about Import/Export features of RadImageEditor, you can read in our very descriptive help article.
