You can basically pass the scaled height and width to 'DrawImage'. Note that backslashes inside string literals must not be escaped in VB.NET.

You mean I can pass parameters to the DrawImage method?

Yes, just check out the different overloads in the documentation or the object browser.

As for the escaped backslashes, I had to do it because I got a first chance exception (FileNotFound) using "simple" backslashes when compiling... Someone suggested that I escape them.

Sorry, but that's nonsense for VB.NET -- are you sure you are using VB.NET?!
