Is it possible to view multi page .Tif files in vb.net application?

Question

I am hoping to be able to view .Tif files in my vb.net application - is there a component that can be used to do that. I've been messing around with Tiff Viewer but for some reason the file is stretched beyond anything - you can barely make out what it says. I tried to adjust the width of the viewer but it did not do much, it is still stretched horizontally.

Have you tried to set his size properties to adjust to fullscreen, zoom, etc? — Juanche, Mar 07 '17 at 20:06
@JuanJoséDiazYoris what component? I tried with tiff viewier but there's not much online to help me with it — BobSki, Mar 07 '17 at 20:07
i thought that you are showing it in a pictureBox encoding - decoding. Please look at this: https://msdn.microsoft.com/es-es/library/system.windows.media.imaging.tiffbitmapdecoder(v=vs.110).aspx?cs-save-lang=1&cs-lang=vb#code-snippet-1 and https://msdn.microsoft.com/es-es/library/aa969817(v=vs.110).aspx?cs-save-lang=1&cs-lang=vb#code-snippet-1 — Juanche, Mar 07 '17 at 20:15

Based on https://stackoverflow.com/a/401579/741136, this will load a multiframe tif into a collection of single frames:

Function LoadTif(filename As String) As List(Of Image)
  Dim lstTif As New List(Of Image)
  Dim bmp As Bitmap = DirectCast(Image.FromFile(filename), Bitmap)
  For i As Integer = 0 To bmp.GetFrameCount(Imaging.FrameDimension.Page) - 1
    bmp.SelectActiveFrame(Imaging.FrameDimension.Page, i)
    Dim ms As New System.IO.MemoryStream
    bmp.Save(ms, Imaging.ImageFormat.Tiff)
    lstTif.Add(Image.FromStream(ms))
    ms.Dispose()
  Next i
  Return lstTif
End Function
