Hi I designed a server with tcp that should listen on a port (9500) for incoming connections I designed a client application that use WebRequest to connect to my server. Anyway, everything works just fine on my PC. Now the client should be able to connect from any intranet/internet computer I started the server on a LAN computer and tryed to make a request using my client app from another PC. The client cant connect to the server... no request are made to server... A request using IE reach the server... something like http://myServerPc:9500 in address bar The same request from the client is: wbclient.UploadData("http://myServerPc:9500", DataToSend, 240) 'timeout 4 minutes wbclient is a WebClient modified to accept timeout Any ideea why?

Well, I may came up with a solution: Make white transparent and draw over the first image Make black transparent on that image and draw it over the second image..this should give me a combination of 2 images

is not a sprite-like image....I have 2 80 x 80 images. I need to make one image from them with black zones of the mask to be from first one and white zones to be from second one

OK, forget about semi-transparent...I will use full transparent only The other problem is how to draw only on white area of the mask, from one image to the other... the black area of the mask should remain transparent... I need some NET methods, not per pixel ideea..Can I set the region of the image to whotle non-transparent zone?

For large image processing stuffs, this loop can be time consumming...

AlphaMask is a greyscale picture without alpha info... so AlphaMaskBMP.GetPixel(x.y).A is 0. Only the color can be some grey...

I know that for a single color, but I have multiple levels of transparency

The mask picture is greyscale, white -greys-black..without alpha info in it. Alpha should be given by grey value to a certain point

I need to reproduce what I can do in photoshop with two image layers and a mask. So, I have 2 images and a mask image, grayscale... How can I blend the 2 images using the mask so they will be merged more or less where there are grey portion on the mask, the white mean full trsnsparent and the black full opaque Thanks, Crirus PS> In VB, without Marshaling and LockBits
