[RESOLVED] [2005] Saving image by Handle?

[arsmakman]

Hello everyone,

I have an image which I need to resize and save in the new size.

I show the image on my form in the 'new' size by displaying it as a PictureBox's BackgroundImage in Zoom-mode. This is resolution I want the picture to be saved in.

Now, is there a way to save the image that way? All my attempts seem to save the image in it's original size.

I now use this code, which really only creates a copy of the image.

Dim imgInput As Drawing.Image = Drawing.Image.FromFile("C:\InputImage.jpg")
picContainer.BackColor = Color.Black
picContainer.Width = 160
picContainer.Height = 120
picContainer.BackgroundImage = imgInput
picContainer.BackgroundImageLayout = ImageLayout.Zoom
picContainer.BackgroundImage.Save("C:\OutputImage.jpg")

Thanks,
arsmakman.

I think there must be a way to capture the image by using the PictureBox's handle. There are screen-capture programs available that can take like a
'PrintScreen' from one window or control. This is what I need, I just can't seem to find any way of doing it.
