The S309PictureBox maintains the picture being displayed as an image, which is not necessarily the same width and/or height as the S309PictureBox. You can have the S309PictureBox automatically size itself to the width and height of the image or have the image stretched or shrunk to the size of the S309PictureBox when displayed. All drawing and pixel manipulation is done on the image.

This control will not expire.
