Hard to see what's wrong with your code, without actually seeing your code.

this is my code for open an image ...

Private Sub OpenToolStripMenuItem_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles OpenToolStripMenuItem.Click
        Panel2.Enabled = True
        PictureBox.BackColor = Color.White
        Dim open As New OpenFileDialog()
        open.Filter = "Image Files(*.png; *.jpg; *.bmp)|*.png; *.jpg; *.bmp"
        If open.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
            Dim fileName As String = System.IO.Path.GetFullPath(open.FileName)
            PictureBox.Image = New Bitmap(open.FileName)
        End If

I have this exception show to me..

System.ArgumentNullException was unhandled
  Message=Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: image
  ParamName=image
  Source=System.Drawing
