[RESOLVED] Resize Image With Compact Framework

I am trying to resize an image in a program that runs on a pocket PC.

this doesn't work in the compact framework:
dim ReBMP as NEW bitmap (OrigBMP, width, height)

Anyone know how I can do this?

Where is this image being displayed for you to test?

Stupid question, but you haven't got autosize on a picture box have you?

the picturebox has stretch or centre. what I need is a 100*100 image displayed as a 200*200 picturebox.image.

what do you mean it doesnt work ? you mean it doesnt build?

Please give the specific error

Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'New' accepts this number of arguments.

As far as I can tell this is supported on the normal framework but not on the compact framework. I did look at the possible parameter combinations for a new bitmap but none were suitable.

And how about using Image.GetThumbnailImage ?

guess what; Image.GetThumbnailImage doesn't appear to be
supported on the compact framework.

Well you can always create a new bitmap with the desired size, then create a Graphics object from it to draw the image on it.

the graphic.drawimage looks like it could be a winner. I don't suppose you have an example of how to code this?

As it happens I was just jotting it up :)

VB Code:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim origimage As Image = Image.FromFile("someimageondisk")
        Dim bmp As New Bitmap(100, 100)
        Dim gr As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(bmp)
        gr.DrawImage(origimage, 0, 0, 100, 100)
        Me.BackgroundImage = bmp
    End Sub

edit: don't know if it works compact though.

Thanks a lot. It looks like its going to work (no compilation errors but I need to spend a bit of time incorperation it into the rest of the code).

I will mark this as resolved and raise it again if I have a specific problem.


Thanks again to all.
