AccessViolation when using LockBits
<p>I would like to compare the similar images more faster using LockBits method as follows</p>

<pre><code>using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Drawing.Imaging;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

public class CompareImages {

 public static void Main ( String[] args ) {

 Bitmap bm1 = new Bitmap ( "PB270029.JPG" );  
 Console.WriteLine ( bm1.PixelFormat.ToString() );

 int width = bm1.Width;
 int height = bm1.Height;
 Console.WriteLine ( "width = " + width + "  height = " + height );

 Rectangle rect1 = new Rectangle ( 0, 0, width, height );
 BitmapData bm1Data = bm1.LockBits ( rect1, ImageLockMode.ReadOnly, bm1.PixelFormat );

 Console.WriteLine ( "stride = " + bm1Data.Stride );

 IntPtr bm1Ptr = bm1Data.Scan0;

 int bytes = Math.Abs(bm1Data.Stride) * height;
 Console.WriteLine ( "bytes = " + bytes );

 byte[] rgbValues1 = new byte [ bytes ];
 Marshal.Copy ( bm1Ptr, rgbValues1, 0, bytes );

 Console.WriteLine ( "After 1st Marshal.Copy ..." );

 Bitmap bm2 = new Bitmap ( "PA050164.JPG" ); 
 Rectangle rect2 = new Rectangle ( 0, 0, bm2.Width, bm2.Height );
 BitmapData bm2Data = bm2.LockBits ( rect2, ImageLockMode.ReadOnly, bm2.PixelFormat );

 IntPtr bm2Ptr = bm2Data.Scan0;
 byte[] rgbValues2 = new byte [ Math.Abs(bm2Data.Stride) * bm2.Height ];
 Marshal.Copy ( bm2Ptr, rgbValues2, 0, rgbValues2.Length );

 }

}
</code></pre>

<p>but during the second Marshal.Copy the AccessViolationException is occurred:</p>

After 1st Marshal.Copy ...

</code></pre>

<p>What is wrong in my program ?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>
