Windows Forms and Images 2

[dazzer123]

I have a VB.Net windows form that reads and navigates records in an SQL DB, within my DB for each record is a field that contains a path to an image (.bmp file) which is held on a shared drive. How can I display this image in my form when I navigate to the associated record.

MyPictureBox.Imaage = Image.FromFile(MyDataRow.Item("Image Path Column"))

Excellent, just what I was looking for.

Is it possible to resize the picture box to be the exact size of the image (they are all rectangular but change in size)

 

[mrmovie]

MyPictureBox.SizeMode = AutoSize

Excellent, thank you both for your help
