Open Pictures with IE

[scsii]

Hi, instead of opening the image in a image control i would like to open it in IE. I do not wish to use a webbrowser control in my application. All i want to do is open this picture in IE from my application. Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.

image1.Picture = LoadPicture("C:\Temp.gif")

Use ShellExecute() and pass the the address of the image.

can you pls help me with the code as i am unable to understand from the function (shellexecute) as to how the program will open the image in Internet explorer.

ShellExecute opens a file in the default handler. If you really must open it in IE then you can use Shell() (which is built into VB) and pass "iexplore " follwed by the address of the file.
