Hi,

Setting the ImageComponent's HorizontalAlignment and VerticalAlignment properties to values different than default Stretch should make the component itself as big as the Image it hosts. However the default ImageAlign = Center should center the image within its component even if the component fills the grid cell, so you might be seeing a different problem. Check if ImageAlign isn't set to Stretch or Fit at some point after initialization.

Also note that ImageComponent honors the HorizontalResolution and VerticalResolution properties of Bitmap and the image might appear larger than when rendered by your original control if it doesn't. You could call Bitmap.SetResolution to set larger resolution and make the image appear smaller in the ImageComponent.

I hope that helps,
Stoyan
