ImageViewer.zip- This example shows how to create an image viewer capable of displaying up to 1000 images in a slideshow format.

imgresize.zip- This example shows how to allow the user to resize a picture box at runtime to meet their needs.

This work is still under construction so if you have some ideas to optimize it let us know. Coded by Mr. Wonka
