Show Full Image in Fixed Size PictureBox in Windows Form Application

To show in windows form , we will use following controls of .Net framework:

• PictureBox
• TextBox
• Button
• openFileDialog

Create new solutions and add the above controls in windows form design.

In this project we will select a image from local computer disk using openFileDialog and Button . And we will set the image path in the PictureBox.

Here we will use

pictureBox1.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage;

to set full image in fixed sized pictureBox.

private void upload_button_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            try
            {
                // open file dialog
                OpenFileDialog open = new OpenFileDialog();
                // image filters
                open.Filter = "Image Files(*.jpg; *.jpeg; *.gif; *.bmp;*.png)|*.jpg; *.jpeg; *.gif; *.bmp;*.png";

                if (open.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
                {
                    // display image in picture box
                    pictureBox1.Size = new Size(150, 150);
                    pictureBox1.Image = new Bitmap(open.FileName);
                    pictureBox1.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage;
                    // image file path
                    textBox1.Text = open.FileName;
                }
            }
            catch (Exception)
            {
                throw new ApplicationException("Eerror in image loading....");
            }
        }
