[c#] Fit Image into PictureBox

using (SqlConnection myDatabaseConnection = new SqlConnection(myConnectionString.ConnectionString))
{
    myDatabaseConnection.Open();
    using (SqlCommand SqlCommand = new SqlCommand("Select Photo from Employee where EmpID LIKE '%' + @EmpID + '%' ", myDatabaseConnection))
    {
        SqlCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@EmpID", textBox1.Text);
        var DS = new DataSet();
        var adapter = new SqlDataAdapter(SqlCommand);
        adapter.Fill(DS, "Images");

        var imagesTable = DS.Tables["Images"];
        var imagesRows = imagesTable.Rows;
        var count = imagesRows.Count;

        if (count <= 0) return;

        var imageColumnValue =
            imagesRows[count - 1]["Image"];
        if (imageColumnValue == DBNull.Value)
            return;

        var data = (Byte[])imageColumnValue;
        using (var stream = new MemoryStream(data))
        {
            pictureBox1.Image = Image.FromStream(stream);
        }

    }
}

If the image is too large for the picturebox to fit. What is the code to make the image fit in the picturebox?

My picturebox is squared, if the image is rectangular how to it crop and show it in the picturebox like this, the lower part of the picture will be removed.

You can set picturebox's SizeMode property to PictureSizeMode.Zoom, this will increase the size of smaller images or decrease the size of larger images to fill the PictureBox

You can use the properties section

The PictureBox.SizeMode options are missing a "fill" or "cover" mode which would be like zoom except with cropping to ensure you're filling the picture box. In CSS it's the "cover" option.

This code should enable that:

static public void fillPictureBox(PictureBox pbox, Bitmap bmp)
{
    pbox.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.Normal;
    bool source_is_wider = (float)bmp.Width / bmp.Height > (float)pbox.Width / pbox.Height;

    var resized = new Bitmap(pbox.Width, pbox.Height);
    var g = Graphics.FromImage(resized);        
    var dest_rect = new Rectangle(0, 0, pbox.Width, pbox.Height);
    Rectangle src_rect;

    if (source_is_wider)
    {
        float size_ratio = (float)pbox.Height / bmp.Height;
        int sample_width = (int)(pbox.Width / size_ratio);
        src_rect = new Rectangle((bmp.Width - sample_width) / 2, 0, sample_width, bmp.Height);
    }
    else
    {
        float size_ratio = (float)pbox.Width / bmp.Width;
        int sample_height = (int)(pbox.Height / size_ratio);
        src_rect = new Rectangle(0, (bmp.Height - sample_height) / 2, bmp.Width, sample_height);
    }

    g.DrawImage(bmp, dest_rect, src_rect, GraphicsUnit.Pixel);
    g.Dispose();

    pbox.Image = resized;
}

Have a look at the sizemode property of the picturebox.

pictureBox1.SizeMode =PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage;

I have routine in VB ..

but you should have 2 pictureboxes .. 1 for frame .. 1 for the image .. and it make keep the picture's size ratio

Assumed picFrame is the image frame and picImg is the image

Sub InsertPicture(ByVal oImg As Image)
    Dim oFoto As Image
    Dim x, y As Integer

    oFoto = oImg
    picImg.Visible = False
    picImg.Width = picFrame.Width - 2
    picImg.Height = picFrame.Height - 2
    picImg.Location = New Point(1, 1)
    SetPicture(picPreview, oFoto)
    x = (picImg.Width - picFrame.Width) / 2
    y = (picImg.Height - picFrame.Height) / 2
    picImg.Location = New Point(x, y)
    picImg.Visible = True

End Sub

I'm sure you can make it as C# ....

You could try changing the: SizeMode property of the PictureBox.

You could also set your image as the BackGroundImage of the PictureBox and try changing the BackGroundImageLayout to the correct mode.

You could use the SizeMode property of the PictureBox Control and set it to Center. This will match the center of your image to the center of your picture box.

pictureBox1.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.CenterImage;

Hope it could help.

First off, in order to have any image "resize" to fit a picturebox, you can set the PictureBox.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage

If you want to do clipping of the image beforehand (i.e. cut off sides or top and bottom), then you need to clearly define what behavior you want (start at top, fill the height of the pciturebox and crop the rest, or start at the bottom, fill the height of the picturebox to the top, etc), and it should be fairly simple to use the Height / Width properties of both the picturebox and the image to clip the image and get the effect you are looking for.

Use the following lines of codes and you will find the solution...

pictureBox1.ImageLocation = @"C:\Users\Desktop\mypicture.jpg";
pictureBox1.SizeMode =PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage;
