White border around resized image

Hi all,
I wrote a simple .net app which resizes all images in a directory to a
preset imagesize. I want to take this a step further and add a 10px white
border around the image. I can't figure out how to achieve this ... can
someone tell me how to resize the canvas-size and not the entire image...

Thanks in advance!

NOTE: g.DrawImage(bmp, 10, 10, bmp2.Width, bmp2.Height) should be replaced
by g.DrawImage(bmp, 10, 10) or it will end up with borders at only left and
top...
