Image Viewer

[xxdoc123]

Attached is a Picture Viewer. It does not have a bunch of fancy features, because the intent was to use as much of the screen as possible for the image itself. Inspiration for this program came from dilettante with his "Drop Send Pic".

Before anyone tells me that I could have just loaded the files directly into the Picture Box or the form Picture, I had difficulty in meeting the objectives doing it that way. I needed to not only adjust the container to suit the size of the image, but also to adjust the container for the size of the screen. I loaded the file into a byte array, and then I used a Picture Box because it was the only thing that would support "AutoRedraw". My intent is to eventually produce a remote Picture Viewer similar to dilettantes.

Is there a particular reason you would use those values instead. Graphics is not exactly my forte, so don't hesitate to provide the reasoning behind your suggestions.
