Can any body gimme a help how to do this ???

You can do this

process.start("c:\pathToApplication\Application.exe", "c:\pathToPicture\Picture.jpg")

But not everybody may have it installed, so you can do this instead to open the picture in the default program assigned to open files of that type

process.start("c:\pathToApplication\Application.exe", "c:\pathToPicture\Picture.jpg")

This thread has been posted AND answered at least twice already. Try to refrain from double posting, as people will always try to help, double posting just clogs the forum.

As said by danp129, you need to use process.start

I'd go with the :

Process.Start("C:\yourimage.jpg")

Rather than danp129's example, as this means you can open it with the default application, rather than opening it with a program that might not be installed.

Oops, I meant to give the example of using the filename only in the second code block but accidentally copied the wrong line!

It would look something like this:

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

        SaveFileDialog1.ShowDialog()

    End Sub


    Private Sub SaveFileDialog1_FileOk(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles SaveFileDialog1.FileOk

        My.Resources.MyImageName.Save(SaveFileDialog1.FileName, Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg)

        Process.Start(SaveFileDialog1.FileName)

    End Sub

I wouldn't notify the user that you're saving the image, rather save it to a temp folder.

Dim bmp as bitmap = My.Resources.IMAGE_NAME
dim dirandfile as string = My.Computer.Filesystem.SpecialDirectories.Temp("newimagename.bmp")
bmp.save(dirandfile)
Process.Start(dirandfile)
