I have 6 bitmaps, all the same size. Their ImageFormat is Format32bppPArgb. Sometimes when I try to resize the bitmaps I get the Out of Memory message. This doesn't happen all the time, only after about six or seven resizes.

In Task Manager, the program's memory use never goes above 800k.

So, a couple questions:

Is there a way to resize a Bitmap without creating a new one?
If I have to recreate the Bitmap, do I need to dispose the current one (or set it to Nothing)?

Thanks.
