System.OutOfMemoryException

[slavikf]

During executing following code:

Bitmap image = Imaging.Load (RestoreDB.SSDir+"TC207.png");
Validate.ContainsImage (repo.FormOIS_WinStation_11_EyeSca.Element59648Info, 
	image.Clone ( new Rectangle (3,3,imageOrig.Width-6,imageOrig.Height-6),image.PixelFormat),
	Imaging.FindOptions.Default, 
	"TC207: Validation of 'Sharpened proofsheet' image", 
	false);

i got following error:
Unexpected exception occured: System.OutOfMemoryException: Out of memory.
at System.Drawing.Bitmap.Clone(Rectangle rect, PixelFormat format)
at Review1.Recording1.TC207() in c:\AutoRex\Review1\Review1\Recording1.UserCode.cs:line 1514
at Review1.Recording1.Start() in c:\AutoRex\Review1\Review1\Recording1.cs:line 159
at Review1.Program.Main(String[] args) in c:\AutoRex\Review1\Review1\Program.cs:line 36

Any idea where to go to troubleshoot?

From the stack trace it looks like this exception is coming from the image.Clone method you use that's part of the .NET Framework API. Unless you did really run out of memory, from what I remember that exception is also thrown by that method if the provided PixelFormat is wrong or not supported or the rectangle is not correct – really intuitive, isn't it?

Please, try to use the equivalent Ranorex method Imaging.Crop instead.

You are absolutely correct - i was using wrong rectangle size...! How did you know ?
Problem solved...

Thank you...

I'm good at guessing Seriously, I stumbled over the same exception once and couldn't get my head around why an OutOfMemoryException is thrown in that case...
