On button click, I want the picturebox to load an image.

Nov 1st, 2008

A THOUSAND apologies if this question has been asked time and time again.

Google gave no results and Jeeves is retired so I come looking for help in the best programming forum around.

 C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            pictureBox1.ImageLocation=???????????
        }
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            pictureBox1.ImageLocation=???????????
        }

My question is fairly simple, what do I put at the other side of the "="?

Or you might open a filedialog in your buttonclick like this :

 Help with Code Tags 
 C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
OpenFileDialog dlg = new OpenFileDialog();
dlg.Title = "Open bitmap or jpeg.";
//dlg.Filter = "jpg files (*.jpg);*.jpg;*.* | bmp files (*.bmp); *.bmp";
 
 if (dlg.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
 {
         this.fotoPictureBox.Image = new Bitmap(dlg.OpenFile());
 }
 dlg.Dispose();
OpenFileDialog dlg = new OpenFileDialog();
dlg.Title = "Open bitmap or jpeg.";
//dlg.Filter = "jpg files (*.jpg);*.jpg;*.* | bmp files (*.bmp); *.bmp";

 if (dlg.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
 {
         this.fotoPictureBox.Image = new Bitmap(dlg.OpenFile());
 }
 dlg.Dispose();

Several ways to do it, here is an article on loading image files. Just make sure to dispose of new objects properly depending on how you load the images
