• j_ames2006 How do you trap errors from System.Drawing.dll?

  When I execute the following code, I get the error - An unhandled exception of type 'System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception' occurred in System.Drawing.dll. In this example it occurs because the wmf file is very large and PictureBox1 size mode is Auto. I know I can prevent this error, but that's not the point. The point is I can't trap it. The error never gets caught. Can anyone please enlighten me as to why this is possible and what if anything can be done about it I thought exception error handling was supposed to prevent this type of thing from happening On a separate note, it would be nice to know (or be able to calculate) the size limitation of the PictureBox control. My guess is it's hardware dependent and therefore not docum ...Show All
