Trouble! Taking a portion out of an image.

Ok, I HAVE looked around, and I can't seem to find a way that doesn't rely heavily on Directx generation, what I want to do is take an image, a fairly large one, say 1000x1000, and take a portion of that out. Say, 500x500. I do NOT want to scale the image, only to "grab" a portion of it. I've searched through commands for half a day now, and I can't find a way, they all change the SIZE, and I can't seem to find what I need to get a portion of an image. I know you guys are really good at this, but I'm just a student (first year C#, but I have programmed in other languages), and I've never needed to grab just a portion before in C#. Am I overlooking something obvious? Please help!

My pardons! I simply cannot believe that I recieved a response this quickly! (emailed) While it was a link into the MSDN, it contained this: Bitmap myBitmap = new Bitmap("Runner.jpg"); // One hand of the runner Rectangle sourceRectangle = new Rectangle(80, 70, 80, 45); // Compressed hand Rectangle destRectangle1 = new Rectangle(200, 10, 20, 16); // Expanded hand Rectangle destRectangle2 = new Rectangle(200, 40, 200, 160); // Draw the original image at (0, 0). myGraphics.DrawImage(myBitmap, 0, 0); // Draw the compressed hand. myGraphics.DrawImage( myBitmap, destRectangle1, sourceRectangle, GraphicsUnit.Pixel); // Draw the expanded hand. myGraphics.DrawImage( myBitmap, destRectangle2, sourceRectangle, GraphicsUnit.Pixel); which I will study, as it seems to do what I wont, even if I don't know what the GraphicsUnit.Pixel is, but I will research that! Wow, thanks for the really fast reply!
