This is the code in visual studio c++ express 2010 i built this project and used the dll in my project on visual studio c# express 2010.
On my c# project sometimes when im creating the animated gif im getting the messagebox error.

So this is the code from the c++ before i compile it:

[/code]

The error is on line: 187 :


<div style="color:Black;background-color:White; <pre>
MessageBox::Show(<span style="color:#A31515; "Not a GIF file, or incorrect version number.");
[/code]
<br/>
Above this line i see two lines wich using gif header and something with cversion 89a and 87a

Im not using c++ so i dont know this language. My brother did this wrapper.

In my c# project to create the gif animated im using .png file and its working on other images im using wich are also .png and the files are seems to be ok so i cant figure out why its throwing this message sometimes.

And i cant use the c++ code in my c# project to check and debug.

Maybe someone here can help me to figure out why im getting this error.

Im sure its a gif file so maybe something with the version ? And version of what ?

Thanks for the help. <hr class="sig danieli
