Hi all
I have this problem
I'm developing an application c# that interfaces with a digital camera
as soon as the image is shot I download it in the PC and show it
The problem is this one:
the image is very big : 16 megapix!
when I load it in a picturebox. If i try to pan or zoom (i modified the
picture box to do that) the app is stuck ( I suppose because the load of
panning and resizing such a big picture is very big too).

I noticed that the same image is managed in a very efficient way by some
freeware application such as for example irfan view

My question is:
there is a way in c# (maybe by a freeware library or component) to show, pan
and zoom such a big image?

Thanks
