Example

[Visual Basic, C#] The following example is designed for use with Windows Forms, and it requires PaintEventArgs e, which is a parameter of the Paint event handler. The code performs the following actions:

Creates an image from a JPEG file SampImag.jpg in the folder of the example.
Creates a rectangle in which to draw the image.
Draws the image to the screen.

[Visual Basic, C#] The position of the rectangle locates the image on the screen, and the size of the original image and the size of the rectangle determines the scaling of the drawn image.

[Visual Basic] 
Public Sub DrawImageRect(e As PaintEventArgs)
' Create image.
Dim newImage As Image = Image.FromFile("SampImag.jpg")
' Create rectangle for displaying image.
Dim destRect As New Rectangle(100, 100, 450, 150)
' Draw image to screen.
e.Graphics.DrawImage(newImage, destRect)
End Sub
        
[C#] 
public void DrawImageRect(PaintEventArgs e)
{
// Create image.
Image newImage = Image.FromFile("SampImag.jpg");
// Create rectangle for displaying image.
Rectangle destRect = new Rectangle( 100, 100, 450, 150);
// Draw image to screen.
e.Graphics.DrawImage(newImage, destRect);
}
