Can anyone tell me how to dynamically set the width and height of a picture box based on the size of the image that will be displayed in it? The image will be chosen by the user at run time using an open file dialog box. Any ideas would help me a lot.

The easiest way is to simply set the SizeMode property of the PictureBox to PictureBoxSizeMode.AutoSize in the designer.

Hi,

Set the PictureBox's Width and Height with it's Image's Width and Height:

pictureBox1.Width = pictureBox1.Image.Width;
pictureBox1.Height = pictureBox1.Image.Height;

// Or

pictureBox1.Size = new Size(pictureBox1.Image.Width,pictureBox1.Image.Height);


Alternatively, if your Image is stored on an Image variable, set the size of your PictureBox like this:

pictureBox1.Width = myImage.Width;
pictureBox1.Height = myImage.Height;

// Or

pictureBox1.Size = new Size(myImage.Width,myImage.Height);
