Converting WIA image file to bitmap

[stroyer74]

I'm working with Microsoft's Windows Image Acquisition Library v2.0 in a vb.net project.

I've been able to successfully scan and save that scan to a jpg. But rather than saving it to a file, I would like to move it to a bitmap object and display the bitmap object in a picturebox control.

Below is the code I'm currently using to scan and save. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Sheldon

Private Sub btnScan_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnScan.Click
Dim wiaDialog As New WIA.CommonDialog
Dim wiaImageFile As New WIA.ImageFile
Dim strFileName as string

wiaImageFile = wiaDialog.ShowAcquireImage()

strFileName = "C:\Test.jpg"
wiaImageFile.SaveFile(strFileName)
End Sub

Save it and load it again. More simple than connect between WIA image and Image class (I assume)

        ' Loading a bitmap
        Dim b As Bitmap = New Bitmap("C:\Test.jpg")

        ' Showing in a picture box
        PictureBox1.Image = b

        ' Showing in a picture box if you don't have a bitmap object
        PictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile("C:\Test.jpg")
