Image Class

Question

I'm loading a bitmap from a URL location and I'm trying to resize the picture to fit onto my application -- how would this be done? This is my code thus far: WebClient myClient = new WebClient(); Bitmap imgFile = new Bitmap(myClient.OpenRead(@http://www.url.com/picture.jpg)); pbImage.Image = (Image)imgFile; // PictureBox Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

DrawImage is the best way to resize the bitmap. It disappears because everytime you tab back to it the paint event handler gets called and clears the screen. If you place the DrawImage method in the tabControl.Paint event handler that should solve the problem. cannadbt www.obtechcorp.com

Thanks! That worked.. I'd like to do one more thing.. I've tried setting the Size property of the Bitmap but it's read only. Is there any way to adjust the size of the image? I've also tried using the Graphics class and the DrawImage method but this image is on a tabbed page and when I tab off of the page and go back to it the image is gone. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Set the pbImage display mode to stretch.
