The simplest way to resize an UIImage?

Question

In my iPhone app, I take a picture with the camera, then I want to resize it to 290*390 pixels. I was using this method to resize the image :

UIImage *newI

For my fellow Xamarians, here is a Xamarin.iOS C# version of @Paul Lynch answer.

private UIImage ResizeImage(UIImage image, CGSize newSize) 
{
    UIGraphics.BeginImageContextWithOptions(newSize, false, 0.0f);
    image.Draw(new CGRect(0, 0, newSize.Width, newSize.Height));
    UIImage newImage = UIGraphics.GetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
    UIGraphics.EndImageContext();
    return newImage;
}
