How should i clean up after drawing to an image on a timer? I am getting a memory leak BTW I don't really understand why this is necessary; i mean shouldn't .net automatically clean up when an object has no longer any references to it?anyway here is basically the outline my

I have an app that displays images (using picturebox component). what I am trying to do now is to try to allow the user to resize the image how he wants it (scale). for this i think I need to create an instanece (bmp) clone of the selected image in the picturebox and draw it ontop of the original picture; then specifi new set of size points.I was trying to use the code below:
Graphics.FromImage(PictureBox1.Image).BeginContainer('i do not know what to do here')
I need to specifi the new size of the graphics container but I do not seem to have any clue on how to do it.
I encounter a problem when I try to save a graphic. Drawing and displaying the graphic is no problem, but when I try to save it on file it always results in an empty image.
My code so far is:
Initialization:
Public Class ImageDisplay

I would like that area filled up with a black box.
Been experimenting using VB.Net to make a game, Got most of it figured out but now my method of shooting missiles causes a terrible lag, This is how i'm doing it now.
Declares Private missiles As New ArrayList()
Dim canFire As Boolean = True
Fire
[CODE]...
Move all the missiles X positions + 1
Try
For Each pic As PictureBox In missiles
pic.Location = New Point(pic.Location.X + 1, pic.Location.Y)
Next
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
I have a timer making canFire true every second. It is a GIF Image, I tested with a PNG image and the lag is barely noticeable. Is there a better way to draw them while still being able to use GIF images?
i am creating a winform program using vb where i am loading an image into a picture box. then in the mouse down event i am creating small circles which can act as points which will be displayed on the image. say creating five points around the eye of a bird. then i am having a button by clicking it , a polygon will be drawn on those selected circles x and y as edges. i am having no issues until this. when i am trying to add another polygon in the same picture by clicking around its leg or whatever and pushed the draw button there must be another polygon i.e. two separate polygons 1 on eye and 2 on leg. but there is only one polygon from eye to leg. so my questions are
1) how to close a polygon and draw another one in picture box
2) how to select a previously drawn polygon and delete it.

My goal is actually very simple: I simply want a (shared) function that accepts a List(Of String) which creates an image and writes those strings (line by line) onto the image. There's a bit more to it than that, but for the sake of example this is all you need to know.Usually when drawing on an image I would create a Bitmap object and get the graphics object from Graphics.FromImage:
Dim bmp As New Bitmap(100, 100)
Using g As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(bmp)
g.FillRectangle(...)
[code]....
Seems easy enough, but the problem is that I don't know how many strings there will be in the list, nor how long they will be. The image should 'scale itself' according to the strings in the list. If the list contains 5 strings it should be 5 strings high (plus a little extra for borders). If the list contains only 1 string it should be only one string high. Same goes for the width, if the longest string is 150 pixels, the image needs to be at least 150 pixels (160, 170 or something).
This is all good, I can get the dimensions of the strings by using Graphics.MeasureString. The problem now is that I need the dimensions of the image to create the bitmap. I need the Graphics object to get the dimensions. But, I need the bitmap to get the Graphics object I'm stuck in a loop here, if I don't have the Graphics object (I can't create it from nothing..) then I cannot measure the strings, but if I cannot measure the strings then I cannot determine how large my image will be, so I cannot create a bitmap and associated Graphics object...
I am new to vb.net, from VB6. Trying to understand drawing a simple line graph into a picturebox, which was so simple in VB6 ! From code snippets, I can see the basic idea using an bitimage to draw the lines and then showing it in a picturebox. I don't understand how to (simulate) scaling of the bitmap's x/y scales like you could do with VB6's .Scale.

I have 1 image in picturebox. Now I draw some rectangles. I'm trying clear the image (only rectangles and left the image) without success.

i.Clear(Color.Blue)
The image is clear but the rectangles are showed and then unshowed.
The aim of my program is to load a picture into an pic box, then to be able to place multiple shapes on the picture in the pic box by clicking on the location where i want the shape. The type of shape will depend on the radio button which has been selected. Basically all i want is choice of X or O. (its not tic tac toe either At the end of it all i want to be able to save the image WITH the shapes on it, doesnt matter what format its in (gif, jpg, bmp) as long as it has color and i can see the original image with the shapes included.
I have made several attempts at this, and this is what i have so far. (I am brand new to VB and programming so i need all the help i can get) I have hit a wall with how far previous examples can get me.
