Showing .Tif file in PictureBox 1

[mansii]

Framework 1.1

Condition:
The .Tif file was created from a scanner, and located on the scan server.

Problem:
1. I've been trying to show the .Tif file in my Windows form PictureBox with no luck.
2. The reason why it is in .Tif format is caused by the limitation of the scanner. I had no idea to set it up as , for example, a .JPG file.

Current attemp:
PictureBox1.Image.FromFile("\\ScanServer\Image\1.tif")

TIA,
mansii

Check out the following link, which discusses converting images from .tif format to .jpg format:

normally .net should open tif files since it does on my computer. But there are different types and it could be that the scanner makes a non-standard tif. Or has a faulty algorithm.

jebenson,
The link is great.

chrissie1,
I thought so, but when I tried to set the picturebox's image, the *.tif extension is not listed in the dialog form's file type.
Maybe I missed something during .Net setup.

[green]Current condition:[/green]
The .tif file was successfuly converted to a .gif file located in the temp folder.

[red]Current problem:[/red]
The new .gif image is not showing on the picturebox.

[blue]Current attempt:[/blue]
PictureBox1.Image.FromFile("C:\Temp\1.Gif")

TIA

Solved!

PictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile(TifFile)

Thank's all.
