I have an image object of which I want to perform a high quality resize and
create a new Image (don't want to draw it to the screen).

I have tried using Image.GetThumbnailImage but the quality of the image
returned from this method really sucks. I know there must be a better way to
handle this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Tony

Hi Tony,

1. Create a new bitmap of the size you require.
2. Get a graphics object for the bitmap by using graphics.FromImage static
method
3. Use DrawImage to draw from you old image to your new image, making sure
that the graphics.InterpolationMode is set to your quality requirements.

Honesty among republicans is not easy to find. In any case, Bush used
British Blair and Spanish Aznar. Many years from now History will be
able to asses the true character and impact of Bush. He is the
incarnation of a an egotistic boy with no conscience at all, ready and
willing to use anybody, anytime, and incapable of remorse.
