Are you trying to get the filename back from something you've assigned earlier to the BackgroundImage property?

Yes.

Why not just save it in a string and carry it along? I'm not sure that information sticks with the pictureBox (MSDN says that there is metadata available, but I don't know if that includes file name or not). Worst case you could make your own pictureBox that inherits everything else and includes a filename property.

Yes i think thats what i am going to do.
Thank you.
