I have tried to realign the image by down and right one pixel, but still only part of the first row and column are visible when zoomed.I can't find exactly what I'm looking for online.
My computer is an HP-Pavillion dv9600 Notebook PC.
OS: Windows Vista SP2 32-bit
The following code reproduces the problem:

How do I flip the image upside down (below the first image) Like as if a house were at the waters edge and you can see the house, and the reflection in the water?
code for drawing the image (which is a battery)
VB
'Finding center'
Dim batX As Integer = 160 - (imgDct(cbo_Battery.Text).Width / 2)
Dim batY As Integer = 200 - (imgDct(cbo_Battery.Text).Height / 2)

This is in a class, the class inherits Panel. VB.net

The goal is to have this image stretched to 300x50 Whenever I do it, it works, but it fades the image from left to right, so that at Left = 0, the image is solid, but at Left = 300, the image is transparent.

I have a PictureBox that is docked in the upper left corner of a form. It is contained inside of a SplitContainer, and the PictureBox is set to Fill the side of the panel that it resides:
SplitContainer:
___________________
| _________ >
| | | >
| | LogoBox | >
| |_________| >
|___________________>
I have the SizeMode set to Zoom so that the image will be resized to fit the bounds of the PictureBox. By default, the image is centered with this SizeMode. I am wondering if it is possible to force the image to be left-aligned instead of centered.

This is a working example which draws a rectangle on different location every timer_tick and I fully understand now how it's working:
Code:
Dim i, timercount As Integer
Private Sub PictureBox1_Paint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.Paint
[code]....
Now I'm looking for a way to draw this rectangles without refreshing them every single tick. I've just started using Visual Basic and I really don't know how to call/raise PictureBox1_Paint event every timer_tick or how to store drawing data in member variables?

This one is killing me. I don't think this would be so difficult if M$ documentation was to the point and talked in normal speak (I guess they don't understand KISS).it seems unnecessarily difficult to raise a paint event without a picturebox getting redrawn (all existing graphics erased). Invalidate, Refresh and Update all erase the picturebox. All I want to do is get the procedure ( with Handles Picturebox1.paint) to fire so I can draw to it without erasing what is already there. I looked into the RaiseEvent statement but there are a zillion errors that pop up for one reason or another telling me I can't do it. So: 1. How the heck can I get this to work? 2. Does anyone know of a great book on vb.NET that doesn't try to impress anyone with it's command of the English language, but instead teaches. As far as I can tell, M$ is full of themselves in a major way?

I've got this code which draws a line and it moves down to a point then two curves are drawn coming off of it. I need to get it to repeat itself after a short period, so there's a constant flow of lines moving down then becoming curves.[code]

I've got a basic idea of what i'm wanting to do, just been out of it too long to remember how to do it. I'm wanting to load an image, not display it. Get all the pixel data, then redraw the image pixel for pixel in mspaint.

Running a graphics effect in the Paint event of a Form. I am thinking of something like a screensaver effect, not necessarily full-screen either. Would a background worker be better suited to this idea or using another thread? I wouldn't want something that is very demanding on a computer processor. In fact, what I was originally thinking, is it possible to put a Windows screensaver program inside a Form?

correct way to draw rectangles onto a picturebox, and also to explain the paint event more clearly.Basically I have an application where a picturebox contains an image, this image is a small computer monitor as such:
The idea of this part of my application is that the user can draw small window size rectangles which represent windows later on. I have already used some excellent code on this forum to be able to draw the rectangles on the picturebox (As pictured above), the rectangle outline is drawn from MouseDown and MouseUp respectivley.
The problem I am encountering is with the 'repainting' of this rectangle. I have included code to repaint the rectangle in the Paint event of the picturebox. This works when you move the picturebox 'off screen' and bring it back. However when the form is re-sized or other various things occur the rectangle is not re-drawn? even though the picturebox 'appears' to be clean and always there!
My code is below, it is not full and complete, but the few main subs listed should give an indication as to how I am currently creating the rectangle:
Private Sub picboxAdvDisplay_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles picboxAdvDisplay.MouseDown
'Set the flag for Drawing enabled
[code]....
1. What is the CORRECT way to draw a rectangle onto a Picturebox?
2. How do you code so that the rectangle is ALWAYS visible/drawn on a form re-size, minimise, window overlap etc etc.

The problem is that i am trying to resize pictures so they fit into a picturebox with good quality. I have found a code (se attached code) on the internet that resize the picture correctly but the quality is poor.
If i resize the picture in Adobe photoshop before i put it into the picturebox the quality is good so there is nothing wrong with the orginal picture or the picturebox. It's the resizing that is the problem.
Here is the code.

I am creating an application where when I click on an image I need to mark the place using the x and y co-ordinates given by the click and then after marking I put a red dot/circle on that spot and then I need to save this image to a file including the dot/circle I marked. I have tried saving the image to the file but to no avail, I have been able to only save the PictureBox image and that doesn't include the graphics. It is only the base image. I have tried to save it as a bitmap but have not gotten anywhere with that either. It seems whenever I call the image.save it takes only the value of the underlying image and saves it.

Well currently im programming a game in Visual Basic and I have it to the point where it draws a map on the form, it loads maps to different areas when you walk on the map, and I am doing so by using Graphics. DrawImage which redraws the map on the screen with the character in the new position. It was working quickly and smoothly until now.
I added some more sprites and now it starts to lag badly then it will throw a Out of Memory exception and it will display a big red x across the form. I watched the memory now as i move the character one spot on the forum and the memory increases 100mb's each time. It wasn't doing this before which is weird. I managed to fix the out of memory error using GC.GarbageCollect but I read that this is bad, also the character still lags across the forum. I really didn't want to release the source code until I was finished but seeing as I need help quickly because this is for a project I am working on for Thursday (End of semester Programming 2 Junior year of high school) I don't have many options.

I'm trying to improve the speed of my call to:Graphics.DrawImage (Image, Rectangle, Int32, Int32, Int32, Int32, GraphicsUnit, ImageAttributes)I want to display two images, where the old one fades smoothly into the new one, driven by a Timer tick of 10 or 20 ticks a second. The following code runs fine on JPEG files of around half a megabyte or less, but takes much too long (up to half a second) fora 2MB JPEG. Using the Stopwatch control, I isolated the problem to the two .DrawImage calls. Do I need to do this in DirectX or is there a way to improve the efficiency of the routine? I thought of trying to resize the two images beforehand to fit the rectangle, but that's not a simple call (I don't think), and it might just mean moving the delay elsewhere.

I dipped my toe in the world of user controls as needed to double buffer a panel control and now want to create a picturebox control with a thicker border. Writing a dice based game, the dice represented by pictureboxes when clicked are highlighted and their border style changes FROM BorderStyle.none TO BorderStyle.FixedSingle, which is where I want to increase the thickness of the border. My user control code increases the border thickness using the code below:-

I've a program that draw an image in a picturebox with DrawImage. This image, a ball (.png transparent), every second is overwritten by another ball of different color. After 3-5 second the edge of the ball becomes bad, because of overwriting.
I tried to clean the background with a FillRectangle before any overwrite, but i need to preserve the windows form background. How can i do that?

I need to draw a bitmap background with one or more moving bitmaps in the foreground; something like a chessboard where pieces move across it. I use a timer-tick event to redraw the background and then draw the relocated foreground image like the code below. But I get flicker, even though I set the form to use double-buffering. The culprit seems to be redrawing the background to refresh where the foreground images used to be; no flicker if I replace the background DrawImage with a simple Graphics.Clear. I think what I want to do is draw the background, and the foreground bitmap(s), in memory and then render it all. I used to do this with double-buffering, BitBlt, and .Refresh in VB6 but I haven't found the equivalent in VB2010. This must be a pretty common graphics requirement; what's the trick to it?

Ive been working on creating a side scroller game, and the back color of my pictureboxes needs to go. when transparent, it shows through the program and onto whatever is active in your Windows os(usually Visual studios).
I am trying to rip pixel color off of the background image picturebox( the level), and replace parts of the character picture box that show transparency with the level art. there may be poor logic in my code?
Heres my code:
Dim newImage As Bitmap = New Bitmap(PictureBox1.Image)
Dim backImage As Bitmap = New Bitmap(PictureBox2.Image)
Dim ximg As Bitmap = New Bitmap(PictureBox3.Image)
[code]....
not the best idea, but all i get is one color for all the level pixels placed in the new image, which is odd. any poor logic you see in this code that could allow the newImage.setPixel not to be 1 color? when i breakpoint, it is recieving different colors from the backimage.getpixel, but only putting one shade on for setpixel somehow. im not going for an accurate color read from the background yet, just wondering why im getting 1 pixel color for the whole picturebox background when being changed.
