Question

In my winform app, i am adding images to listview using ImageList.
but when i increase the Image size (i.e. height & width) small images(ex. bmp images) got blurred.

is there any way to prevent imgs from blurring ??

Thanks in advance.

In .NET ListView, you probably have to wrap the image in standard-sized bitmap and then put the whole bitmap in the item:

Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(64, 64);
Graphics grfx = Graphics.FromImage(bmp);

grfx.DrawImage(
    myImage,
    (bmp.Width - myImage.Width) / 2,
    (bmp.Height - myImage.Height) / 2);

listView.Items[0].Image = bmp;

You may try Better ListView Express or Better ListView. It supports images of arbitrary sizes out of the box. When the image is small, it puts it on center without resizing and prevents the blurring:
