I'm trying to let the use crop a selected area from picture in my winforms application and thought to embed the Paint.NET and limit its functions. I understand that Paint.NET API is unavailable.. I'll be happy to get recommendation for another tool i can use to crop images in Winforms application.

Thanx.

It sounds like your requirements are fairly simple, you might be able to roll your own image cropper using a PictureBox and a few mouse events. :)

    +1. For a simple crop operation this will be FAR more simple than integrating Paint.NET - or anything else for that matter of fact. System.Drawing namespace already supports all that is needed. – Vilx- Aug 24 '09 at 15:58
  • thanks, the consideration was that if we need to develop the crop, the app will support crop only, but if we integrating another component we might be able to support some other features that will shipped with the component. – Tamir Aug 25 '09 at 10:23

What paint.net API? There is no paint.net api for using it from other programs.

I would recommend ImageMagick. They have a .NET wrapper for it so it should be usable from C#.
