Set the size of an image within a picture box?

I have a picturebox with a tiled background image (plane white bitmap), and an "image" resource centered in the middle of it, I would like to chance the size of this centered image within the picturebox.

I tried:

picScaledRepresentation.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.CenterImage
picScaledRepresentation.Size = New Size(Width, Height)

But this just changed the the size of the whole picturebox, rather than the image within it.

Thanks, have a good day

Use Padding property of picture box to resize the picture in picture box //First Set Size mode property of picture box

pictureBox1.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage;

Then 

int padding = 0;
    private void btnAddView_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        //resultViewContainer.AddView("Data");   
        padding += 10;
        pictureBox1.Padding = new Padding(padding);

    }

    private void pictureBox1_PaddingChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        PictureBox pic = sender as PictureBox;
        pic.Refresh();
    }

    private void simpleButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (padding >= 10)
        {
            padding -= 10;
        pictureBox1.Padding = new Padding(padding);
        }

    }

Try to set your image size with the help of padding.. take an idea from this code snippet and implement that you want to do.

The CenterImage option does not allow for scaling etc. Take a look at the PictureBoxSizeMode Enumeration: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.pictureboxsizemode.aspx .

You probably want StretchImage , AutoSize, or Zoom
