resize an image and keep it's proportion?

[Kyote]

I'm trying to make a simple little image viewing program to help me
organize my photo's. But I'm having trouble with resizing the image
so it fits in my picturebox in it's proper proportions.

Are you trying to recreate the .gif/.jpg/.jpeg file, or are you simply
trying to determine the values to use for the Height and Width properties?

If using vb2005, go to the Help file. Search "GDI+ images".
Get the example. Run the example and note the use of "Zoom percent"
when opening a file.

I'm simply trying to open an existing image file *.jpg in a picturebox
control and resize it to fit while maintaining it's proportions.

Thanks Gene. Yes I'm using vb2005 and I'm trying your recommendation.
It looks to have all I should need to understand how to do what I want
to do. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. I never would
have thought to search for GDI+.
