Hi,

are you studying the same course as Vidya? You have both posted the same problem twice now :)

Its usually best to see if someone has a similar problem before you post your own...that way replies and all relevent code are kept in one place.

Heres what i told Vidya:

had a quick search around the Micrsoft Support site, if you use FromFile in code to set an image file to a picturebox it locks the file. You can avoid this by using a filestream to retrieve the image:

System.IO.FileStream fs = new System.IO.FileStream(filename, System.IO.FileMode.Open, System.IO.FileAccess.Read);            PictureBox1.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(fs);            fs.Close();            System.IO.FileStream fs = new System.IO.FileStream(filename, System.IO.FileMode.Open, System.IO.FileAccess.Read);
            PictureBox1.Image = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(fs);
            fs.Close();
