What is the fastest way to:
1) Read binary data file to a string buffer
2) Draw that code to picture box?

This is the way I have done it, first the data read and then the drawing:

Seek place, #1
Buffer=input(sizeofbuffer,#1)

For A = 0 to Xsize
For B = 0 to Ysize
Color = RGB(0,asc(mid(Buffer,B*Xsize+A,1)),0
'API call used to draw pixel to the picturebox, can't remember which one
Next B
Next A
