Image Class

To draw an Image on a Windows Form, you should use one of the DrawImage(Image, Point) methods.

The following code example is designed for use with Windows Forms. It is a handler for the Paint event. A Graphics object is passed to the event and is used to draw the image on the form. The code performs the following actions:

• Creates an image from a file named SampImag.jpg. This file must be located in the same folder as the application executable file.

• Creates a point at which to draw the upper-left corner of the image.

• Draws the unscaled image on the form.

private void ImageExampleForm_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
{         
    // Create image.
    Image newImage = Image.FromFile("SampImag.jpg");

    // Create Point for upper-left corner of image.
    Point ulCorner = new Point(100, 100);

    // Draw image to screen.
    e.Graphics.DrawImage(newImage, ulCorner);
}
