Hi everybody
I want to show a frame of a gif image. I searched and found that the following code should work, but it doesn't work. it detects the number of frames correctly but it shows the whole frames of gif instead of the specified frame. I am grateful of any opinion.
Thanks everybody.

C#

Image[] frames = new Image[36];
Image GG = Image.FromFile(@"C:\Users\Administrator\TEST C#\TEST2frame2\chef.gif");
FrameDimension dimension = new FrameDimension(GG.FrameDimensionsList[0]);
            // Number of frames
int frameCount = GG.GetFrameCount(dimension);
label1.Text = frameCount.ToString();

            // Return an Image at a certain index
GG.SelectActiveFrame(dimension, 1);
frames[1] = ((Image)GG.Clone());
pictureBox1.Image = frames[1];

Any news? It is working for me. Please remove your question from the answers (I know there is an issue on CP).

Your code looks strange. Try the one here: C# Get Frames from a GIF[^], it is working for sure.

Hi Dear Zoltan Zorgo
I did what you said and changed my code to below. But the problem remains as before.
I am looking forward from you. Thank you.

C#

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Drawing.Imaging;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace TEST2frame2
{


    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {

        Image[] getFrames(Image originalImg)
        {

            int numberOfFrames = originalImg.GetFrameCount(FrameDimension.Time);

            Image[] frames = new Image[numberOfFrames];
            label1.Text = numberOfFrames.ToString();


            for (int i = 0; i < numberOfFrames; i++)
            {

                originalImg.SelectActiveFrame(FrameDimension.Time, i);

                frames[i] = ((Image)originalImg.Clone());

            }



            return frames;

        }

        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            Image[] frame = getFrames(Image.FromFile(@"C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\Interface\TEST C#\TEST2frame2\chef.gif"));
            pictureBox1.Image = frame[1];

        }


    }
}
