    I thought you would like to know that this process produces a memory leak as the GC cannot collect the Hbitmap.

    To remedy this you must import the gid32.dll to delete the object.
    [System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("gdi32.dll")]
    public static extern bool DeleteObject(IntPtr hObject);

    However there must be a better solution.
