Is this possible or do I have to use WPF. I am new to Winforms and have created a couple simple applications, now I need to read a TIFF file and then display a subsection of it…

I tried doing something like this:

Graphics g = e.Graphics;
Bitmap b = new Bitmap(Image.FromFile(@"W:\ILHSR_Merged_2011\compressed\overviews\ILHSR11_0405-101-1.tif"));
g.DrawImage(b, 10, 10, 350, 300);

But I get out of memory exceptions. Can someone point me to some readin, or is this simply something that should be developed in WPF.

    I think you need to implement you own TIFF loader using libTiff.

    TIFF image format allow to store image data in tiles. LibTiff allows you to load single tiles: in this way you can display only portion of the image (without decoding the entire TIFF!, that can have prohibitive sizes).

    Unfortunately, I don’t think that .NET imaging supports that TIFF feature. My suggestion is to wrap libTiff in a library written in C++/CLI, and integrate it in your application.

    (Due comment: if some existing library has already wrapped libTiff, and its interface match nicely with your application, even the better)
