How to rotate an image in Visual [Link] - .Net Articles & Samples [Link]

I need help about rotate an image in [Link]. I tested a piece of code was posted in this forum, but, it
works well only in the first time. I saved the rezult of the first time in a bitmap and then I run this operation
again and again. Any time I run it again, the rezult picture was been bigger and bigger while the orginal
picture was in a same size, but the background was be bigger and bigger.
Can any help me?
I send below the code I used to rotate the bitmap. In the beggining of the code I get the width and the
height of the bitmap. If you will run this code again and again You will see that the width and the height of
the bitmap will be bigger and bigger.
Thanks,
Yocheved

bm_in was initted in the load event on the form like this:
dim bm_in as bitmap = new bitmap("d:\temp\[Link]")
after it I run the code below on bm_in again and again.

' Make an array of points defining the

' image's corners.
Dim wid As Single = bm_in.Width
Dim hgt As Single = bm_in.Height
Dim corners As Point() = { _
New Point(0, 0), _
New Point(wid, 0), _
New Point(0, hgt), _
New Point(wid, hgt)}

' Translate to center the bounding box at the origin.

Dim cx As Single = wid / 2
Dim cy As Single = hgt / 2
Dim i As Long
For i = 0 To 3
corners(i).X -= cx
corners(i).Y -= cy
Next i

' Rotate.
Dim theta As Single = [Link](30) * [Link] _
/ 180.0
Dim sin_theta As Single = [Link](theta)
Dim cos_theta As Single = [Link](theta)
Dim X As Single
Dim Y As Single
For i = 0 To 3
X = corners(i).X
Y = corners(i).Y
corners(i).X = X * cos_theta + Y * sin_theta
corners(i).Y = -X * sin_theta + Y * cos_theta
Next i

' Translate so X >= 0 and Y >=0 for all corners.

Ronald Wells Question.

Been trying to find an answer for awhile. Your code is the closest. Only issue is I am working with the
.net compact frameworks and it won't accet the following code:

"gr_out.DrawImage(bm_in, corners)"

Error reads, "Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'DrawImage' accepts this number of
arguments."

This happens only with the .net compact framework and smart device apps. Please help.
Thanks.

Ram how to rotate the image in [Link] with C#

rockwell To Yocheved:

If you rotate a bitmap the picture has to become bigger. You cant rotate a square inside another square
of the same size, so the outer square (the bounds of your image) have to enlarge to accompany the
change of the inner square (the image itself).

If you rotate a square clockwise, for example, the top left corner raises up, the bottom left corner move
farther left, the bottom right corner moves down, and the top right corner moves right. Since a bitmap is
saved only as a square that its edges face vertical and horizontal, it compensates and increases the
image size every time you rotate (unless its a perfect square and your rotation is in increments of 90
degrees)

Dalia To Youssof
your method rotates a text not an image
but it is very interesting too!
