c# - How do I make a PictureBox use Nearest Neighbor resampling?

Question

I am using StretchImage because the box is resizable with splitters. It looks like the default is some kind of smooth bilinear filtering, causing my image to be blurry and have moire patterns.

Answer 1

I needed this functionality also. I made a class that inherits PictureBox, overrides OnPaint and adds a property to allow the interpolation mode to be set:

using System.Drawing.Drawing2D;
using System.Windows.Forms;

/// <summary>
/// Inherits from PictureBox; adds Interpolation Mode Setting
/// </summary>
public class PictureBoxWithInterpolationMode : PictureBox
{
    public InterpolationMode InterpolationMode { get; set; }

    protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs paintEventArgs)
    {
        paintEventArgs.Graphics.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode;
        base.OnPaint(paintEventArgs);
    }
}
