c# - Image vs Bitmap class

Question

I have trouble understanding the differences between the Image class and the Bitmap class. Now, I know that the Bitmap inherits from the Image but from what I understand both are very similar. Can anyone shed some light on this please?

Answer 1

The Bitmap class is an implementation of the Image class. The Image class is an abstract class;

The Bitmap class contains 12 constructors that construct the Bitmap object from different parameters. It can construct the Bitmap from another bitmap, and the string address of the image.
