I'm trying to save my map as an image and am using this code:
'Save Map Image
Dim map As String
    With cdbSave  
        .DefaultExt = ".jpg"  
        .DialogTitle = "Save Map As..."  
        .Filter = "Map (*.jpg)"  
        .InitDir = App.Path  
        .ShowSave  
    End With
    map = cdbSave.FileName  
    Call SavePicture(picMap.Image, map)         'save image  

And when I use it it saves a blank image even if I have something drawn on it. Any suggestions?

Have you set picMap's AutoRedraw property to true?

I don't know why, but sometimes the following will help
  
Set picMap.Picture = picMap.Image  
'before
    Call SavePicture(picMap.Image, map)         'save image  
  

And make sure that AutoRedraw is True like Walrus suggested.

Ok now I can save the image, but while actually drawing to the picturebox I cannot see it until I save it.
