problem in picture displaying

[shahidrasul]

i display a pic on picture box and then i want to display another pic after some seconds
but problem is that first image is not displaying only display 2nd image

1... display first picture from database such as
pbThumbImage.Im age = new Bitmap(new MemoryStream(ob jEmployee.Pictu re));

2... and then get the reference of current main thread
Thread main = Thread.CurrentT hread;
Thread.Sleep(50 00);

3.. and then display another pic
pbThumbImage.Im age = global::TimeEnt rySystem.Proper ties.Resources. DefaultImage;

but problem is that first image is not displaying only display 2nd image

Try this

pbThumbImage.Image = new Bitmap(new MemoryStream(objEmployee.Picture));
[B]Application.DoEvents();[/B]
Thread.Sleep(5000);
pbThumbImage.Image = global::TimeEntrySystem.Properties.Resources.DefaultImage;

Hope that helps

I suspect the source of your problem is that you are putting the tread to sleep. When its asleep its not doing anything, including painting your dialog, updating your string etc. Its not a counter or wait function.

Many ways around it but here's one suggestion:
A timer with a 1000 interval (milliseconds therefore this is 1 second interval)
Set a counter to however many seconds you want to wait.
Decrement it and update your status string on each tick.
When your counter hits zero... Do something such as change the image.
