Hello,

How do I open an wmf file from vb.net?
Where do I start?

Open where? Display the image or opening it with the associated
application or manipulate it?

Image.FromFile should sort you out.

Hello,

Is it possible to display a wmf file stored in the DB as
image(datatype). This is a windows form.
If 'yes', could you give me an example please.

Thank you,

Yelena

If the WMF is stored as a byte array in the database, you can use this
code:

\\\
Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.IO
..
..
..
Dim arrByte() As Byte = ... ' Get data.
Dim imgStream As MemoryStream(arrByte)
Dim theimage As Image = Image.FromStream(imgStream)
///
