I am trying to write a program that shows bmp files on visual basic. where can i get some help on coding?

You can load a bitmap straight into an Image control:

Image1.Picture = LoadPicture(c:\bitmap.bmp)

or a PictureBox control:

Picture1.Picture = LoadPicture("bitmap.bmp&quot.

For me the Image control is better because it repaints faster but apparently the PictureBox control does more. You can always look somewhere like this for more:

Hi,

A few quick differences between an image and picturebox control are that a picturebox can contain other controls, a picturebox can scale.

Have a good one!
