I was wondering whether it's possible to view a DICOM image using a DotImage viewer component.
Best regards.

Ignore the above post... It seems that DotImage 5 indeed claims to be able to open a DICOM image ...now my question is how well does it work.. I tried to open some DICOM images and it CRASHED ( the DICOM images I tried to open were taken from http://dicom.online.fr/fr download.htm ; this page stores them as ZIP files but I used WinZIP to unzip them )

Indeed, the images you refer to don't open in DotImage.  Not sure why, but now we have them to test so I'm sure we'll be able to resolve it soon.  Please try the viewer on other DICOM images, we've tested quite a few without this problem.

We believe those files to not be valid DICOM (according to the Spec). We have worked with DicomWorks to find out what they are doing exactly and we have updated our CODEC to be able to read these files.  The next version of DotImage (5.0b) will have this fix and is scheduled to be released on Monday (May 14th)

can you send me some multi-frames that work

thanks

 

We can't share the DICOM images we have, but there are websites out there with some test images.  If you download the latest version of DotImage, it will now support DicomWorks images.

Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(workspaceViewer.Image.ToBitmap());

This works well if the workspaceViewer holds a JPEG image but it crashes if it holds a DICOM image. 
How can I get a bitmap object from a workspaceViewer that holds a DICOM ?
