Loading image from file

[Simon Jefferies]

Hello,

I am trying to load an image from a file and put the image into a picturebox
with the following code:

Dim ImgThumbnail As System.Drawing.Image =
picImage.Image.FromFile(Filename).GetThumbnailImage(picImage.Width,
picImage.Height, Nothing, Nothing)
picImage.Image = ImgThumbnail.Clone
ImgThumbnail.Dispose()

The problem I am having is that it locks the file. Is there anyway to
release the lock on the file?

Regards

Dim Img as System.Drawing.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromFIle(Filename)
Dim ImgThumbnail As Image = Img.GetTumbnailImage() ' parameters omitted
Img.Dispose()
