    // Create a thumbnail that is 100 pixels width and 200 pixels height.
    int thumbnailID = gdpictureImaging.CreateThumbnail(imageID, 100, 200);
    gdpictureImaging.SaveAsJPEG(thumbnailID, "thumbnail.jpg", 75);
 
    // Release used resources.
    gdpictureImaging.ReleaseGdPictureImage(thumbnailID);
    gdpictureImaging.ReleaseGdPictureImage(imageID);
}

    int thumbnailID = 0;
    if (gdpictureImaging.HasAttachedThumbnail(imageID))
    {
        // Get the already attached thumbnail and save it as an image, then detach it.
        thumbnailID = gdpictureImaging.GetAttachedThumbnail(imageID);
        gdpictureImaging.SaveAsJPEG(thumbnailID, "thumbnail.jpg", 75);
        gdpictureImaging.DetachThumbnail(imageID);
        gdpictureImaging.ReleaseGdPictureImage(thumbnailID);
    }
 
    // Create a new thumbnail with a system-defined size and attach it to an image.
    thumbnailID = gdpictureImaging.CreateThumbnail(imageID, 0, 0);
    gdpictureImaging.AttachThumbnail(imageID, thumbnailID);
