Public Sub ResizeImage(ByVal sSourcePath As String, ByVal sTargetPath As
String)
Dim fs As FileStream
Dim gImageIn As Image
Dim gImageInFormat As Object

Try
fs = New FileStream(sSourcePath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)
gImageIn = Image.FromStream(fs)

gImageInFormat = gImageIn.RawFormat
Dim gImageOut As New System.Drawing.Bitmap(gImageIn, 350, 262)

Hi,

use :
oGrapic.InterpolationMode =
System.Drawing.Drawing2D.InterpolationMode.HighQua lityBilinear
oGrapic.DrawImage(oBmp, New Rectangle(0, 0, oTxtBmp.Width,
oTxtBmp.Height), _
0, _
0, _
oBmp.Width, _
oBmp.Height, _
GraphicsUnit.Pixel)

you can also refer to this sample[1] that create dynamic buttons by the
button text length.

here's a method i use...sorry it's VB...i'm forced to code in this god awful syntax right now...

Private Shared Function ScaleFile(ByVal img As Image, ByVal newSize As Size) As Byte()

Dim newImg As Image = New Bitmap(newSize.Width, newSize.Height,
img.PixelFormat)
Dim graphic As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(newImg)
graphic.CompositingQuality() =
Drawing.Drawing2D.CompositingQuality.HighQuality
graphic.SmoothingMode = Drawing.Drawing2D.SmoothingMode.HighQuality
graphic.InterpolationMode =
Drawing.Drawing2D.InterpolationMode.HighQualityBic ubic
Dim rect As New Rectangle(0, 0, newSize.Width, newSize.Height)
graphic.DrawImage(img, rect)
Dim ms As New MemoryStream()
newImg.Save(ms, img.RawFormat)
Dim bytes As Byte() = ms.ToArray()
ms.Close()
Return bytes

End Function
