Load jpg in C# Form

[darwinrockantansky]

In a C# (.NET) application, I need to load an image (fixed path) at application start-up.

Can anyone point me to a working example?

Thanks

Why not use the form_load event:


private void Form1_Load(obje ct sender, EventArgs e)
{
pictureBox1.Ima ge = Image.FromFile( @"C:\Users\Publ ic\Pictures\Sam ple Pictures\Koala. jpg");
pictureBox1.Siz eMode = PictureBoxSizeM ode.Zoom;
}

Load JPG

Thanks Janch.

I used the same solution in-line vs. event driven and it works exactly as I had hoped it would.

Hopefully it's not too late, but be careful doing this. When you load an image from a file this way, it leaves an open handle to the image in question (so it can't be renamed, deleted, moved, etc...).

If this isn't an issue for you then you're set, but if it could be (and sometimes it's good to err on the side of caution), you can load it into memory and then load the image from the in-memory copy of the image, closing the file handle to the file itself.
